This 77-year-old climate activist should never have been jailed – and now faces a Kafkaesque struggle to get out | Zoe Williams
A failure of justice, and draconian Tory law, put Gaie Delap in prison. A failure of government is keeping her there, writes Guardian columnist Zoe Williams

BREAKING: Dr Patrick Hart is the first working GP to be sent to prison for nonviolent direct action. Sentenced to 12 months for a @just-stopoil.bsky.social action against ExxonMobil petrol pumps.
Why did he do it?
Because he's seen children die at the hands of the fossil fuel industry.

In the past 30 days, over 75% of South Australia’s energy came from renewables, an incredible leap from 0% not long ago.
The graph below showing this transition is fascinating.
Amazingly, some reading this, particularly over on Twitter, will be furious about it.

I have spent a lot of time reporting on, and writing about, fossil fuel sponsorship. It's very rare you get a working demonstration of why this matters. This double page spread in the Herald Sun was just sent to me with calls for more gas extraction -- sponsored by the gas industry.

TV host clashes with climate activist over anti-coal blockade
Rising Tide community organiser Zack Schofield has pushed for the end of an industry which contributes to “climate breakdown”. Approximately 170 climate protestors have been arrested, and an inbound ship was forced to turn back at the Port of Newcastle as Rising Tide's blockade continues. Mr Schofield defended the actions of protestors, saying the group is demanding an end to new coal and gas expansions in Australia due to the climate crisis. AM Agenda host Laura Jayes clashed with the Rising Tide organiser over the group’s decision to blockade the world’s largest coal port.
