A climate disaster levy could raise billions of dollars a year from gas and coal exporters to cover the skyrocketing cost of disaster response and recovery.

Join more than 30,000 Australians and sign the Australia Institute's petition: nb.australiainstitute.org.au/climatedisas...

✍️ ADD YOUR NAME: Make fossil fuel polluters pay

Climate change is making natural disasters like fires, floods, heatwaves and drought worse, costing Australians billions every year. Make fossil fuel producers pay a climate disaster levy to help pay...

The Free Press has been hamstrung by Rupert Murdoch across the Western World, sadly Lachlan Murdoch seems even worse than his father

Murray Watt as Environment Minister is up there for that gong too, both Wong and Watt weak and ineffectual after all their progressive stance while in opposition which both have done a 180 since coming to government and become pro-fossil fuel, pro-genocide, anti-Palestinian, so disappointing

Merry Christmas to you and your family Greg, thanks for your fabulous journalism throughout the year

That would be the ABC ensuring balance … refer to extreme weather but don’t mention climate change so the conservatives are kept happy

In other words, pillage even more to further add to their disgusting wealth

Apparently you can’t celebrate being trans without providing a ‘trans is bad’ counter narrative. Must remember to apply that requirement to the next article in The Australian referring to heterosexual couples

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Gotta love those commercial in confidence agreements huh taxpayers absorb the project costs while private enterprise can refuse to give details or need to justify extra funding

These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans.

Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now is meant to distract you from this.

Brereton needs to be relieved of his role at NACC, sadly Labor won’t do it so we are stuck with this commission that can’t do their job properly … but perhaps that was what was intended all along

Just when we thought we were voting in a Federal Labor Govt what we actually got was another Federal Liberal Government in Labor clothing.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.

So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.

Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

RFK Jr. ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committee

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him?

No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens.

Fascism is here.

In just 130 days, Elon...

-Secured even more contracts

-Derailed at least 40 fed investigations of his corporations

-Gutted agencies that regulate his business

-Installed loyalists throughout the government

Elon has fallen out with Trump, but he got exactly what he wanted.
