If albo is serious about ‘progressive patriotism’ he could start by prioritising the livelihoods of Australians over the profits of gambling companies.

Gambling rates skyrocket when children reach young adulthood: almost half of 18 to 19-year-old Australians gamble (46%).

A great conversation with @Alex_Waters2050 on the @Boganintelpod about the impact of BRICS+ on the Asia-Pacific region, and the choices Australia must consider as the status quo starts to shift away from unipolarity.

“Changes to our environment laws so they actually protect nature, with 15 changes including removing native forest logging exemption & removing fossil fuels from national interest test.”
#Auspol #FossilFuel induced #ClimateChange
List Amendments Senator David Pocock is proposing: 1 Remove the carve out that excludes Regional Forest Agreements from the laws. 2 Remove the carve out for land clearing under the continuations of use and prior authorisation exemptions. 3 Tighten the national interest test in line with recommendations made by Professor Graeme Samuel in his submission to the inquiry into the bill, and exclude fossil fuel projects from the test. 4 Remove subjectivity in tests around the application of National Environmental Standards and scienti!c criteria. 5 Legislate a requirement and timeframe to deliver a National Environmental Standard for First Nations engagement and a National Environmental Standard for Community consultation. 6 Provide safeguards to ensure that o"sets are only used where like-for-like o"sets are demonstrably available. 7 Remove the ability of the Minister to devolve approval powers to states and territories. 8 Provide safeguards around the streamlined approvals process and exclude fossil fuel projects from that approval pathway. 9 Establish a duty for the minister to consider the impact of projects on climate change. 10 Limit the rulings power in the bill to procedural clari!cations only and explicitly prohibit rulings from overriding or substituting for Standards or formal accreditation processes. 11 Remove the 28 day limit on reconsideration requests and reinstate the Minister's power to reconsider determination older than 5 years. 12 Improve and clarify the de!nitions of unacceptable impact and net gain to provide greater certainty and ensure adequate protection of the environment. 13 Establish a truly independent National EPA with an independent board and a CEO appointed by the board. 14 Stop work orders should be open to review and appeal, ensuring the stop work orders remain in force during the review and appeal process. 15 Increase flexibility around sunset periods for non-controlled actions.

We are fucked if we can’t even save koalas 🐨
By 2050 – less than two-and-a-half centuries since invasion – koalas will be extinct in New South Wales, and at risk across all other mainland states and territories, without urgent government intervention.
#Auspol #ClimateChange
Excerpt from article But there it was that day: a displaced national icon collapsing in slow motion. It's estimated there were once millions of koalas across the mainland appearing in First Nations dreaming stories for tens of thousands of years. The koala was a totem animal for some cultural groups and food source for others, and specific rules applied to how they were handled. Yet, it's predicted that by 2050 - less than two-and-a-half centuries since the First Fleet arrived - koalas will be extinct in New South Wales, and at risk across all other mainland states and territories, without urgent government intervention. Lisa Palma is the chief executive of Wildlife Victoria. She has also been a licensed wildlife carer for more than a decade. Just this year, Wildlife Victoria has fielded more than 180,000 calls for help regarding sick, injured and orphaned wildlife. Calls to its emergency response service - backed by qualified volunteers and experienced wildlife veterinarians - have more than doubled in the past five years, leaving the service under strain. Palma says these calls from concerned community members are expected to double again over the next five years, to about 300,000 a year, due to the acceleration of climate change. "Honestly, we don't know how we'll manage, she savs. "Probably the most common reason members of the public call us is for sick and injured koalas that are reported clinging to telephone poles. poles.. clinging to a farm fence, clinging to a house... It's tough work. It's very emotional.

We need to reduce the risk of nuclear war & to ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
Military facilities, estab under the Aust-US alliance, are major obstacles to signing the TPNW. The way forward to a more peaceful world means ending the war alliance.
#AUKUS Will FuckUs #Auspol
Article excerpt Signing and ratifying the TPNW would likely require Australia to refuse the US access to military installations related to US nuclear war fighting abilities. That would threaten the Australia-US military alliance and the terms of AUKUS. States that sign and ratify the TPNW must not support nuclear war fighting operations of a nuclear power. Australia is currently providing, or about to provide, at least four installations to assist the US' nuclear war fighting ability. Pine Gap base provides the US nuclear war room in Nevada with real time and vital satellite surveillance data, via the Relay Ground Station in Central Australia. It would have to be closed to the US if the TPNW was signed and ratified. The Harold Holt Communications Station at North West Cape, Exmouth, in Western Australia, enables the US to communicate with its nuclear-armed, hunter-killer submarine fleet, while submerged and, through this facility, can instruct them to launch their nuclear missiles. Signing and ratifying the TPNW would mean Australia ends US access to this communication. The berthing and maintenance facilities under construction at the HMAS Stirling naval base in WA, at a cost of $8 billion, is to service US and British nuclear hunter-killer or attack submarines. The US refuses to confirm or deny whether its nuclear submarines are armed with nuclear weapons. In signing and ratifying the TPNW, Australia would need to halt this construction and refuse to berth and maintain US nuclear submarines.
