Adani have formally dropped their 5 1/2 year SLAPP court action against Ben Pennings.
To end the case, Ben proposed a very minor restriction to his political freedom.
20,000+ Australians donated $1.2m for Ben’s legal fund.

Thursday birdsday!
This magnificent wedge-tailed eagle was photographed on take-off during recent fieldwork. Australia’s largest bird of prey, the wedgie can grow to a wingspan of up to 2.8m, although the ones found on the Nullarbor tend to be smaller.

But Labor still refuses to take meaningful climate action.
They refuse to take into account climate damage when approving a coal or gas project.
This is the best we could get from a party captured by its fossil fuel donors.
But we’ll keep fighting.

Days after new data found Aboriginal people 15x more likely to be searched by VicPol than white people, Vic police were granted powers to search people without a warrant. This is why we must be critical of hysterical reporting about "machete epidemics" — who gains from these exaggerated crime waves?

Nature doesn't have an offset account
Australia’s climate and biodiversity laws rely heavily on offset markets that treat ecosystems as interchangeable. But nature is not fungible, and the growing evidence of unique, localised species shows why offset systems are structurally incapable of protecting what is irreplaceable.
