The Greens support a just transition to sustainable industries for the workers in the Tasmania Salmon industry.

There is no future in the Salmon industry. It is simply profits for foreign owned corporations. Albo’s promised subsidies are better spent elsewhere.

Top Italian insurer Generali's decision to stop insuring oil and gas expansion was a new step forward in the fight against #fossilfuel expansion.
We hope to see other insurers show how finance can drive the transition to clean energy in 2025.

20 years to heal!! But with fires now blazing across Australia every summer & some areas burning again & again…. The landscape will only have to change. We are in the middle of a mass extinction & climate disaster we just don’t realise what we have lost & can’t fathom what’s to come. #auspol

In 2021 the Govt of Qatar was forecast to collect $26.6 billion in royalties from its LNG reserves. Our Govt was forecast to receive $800 million for the same volume of gas. Both the old parties have given away our wealth and aren’t interested in changing this state of affairs. #auspol

The challenge to mitigate climate change is compounded by our resources being depleted by simply managing the climate catastrophe event by event.

Tax the bastards.

How the fvck do they not pay tax

Our government budgets don't have a spending problem, they have a revenue problem

If only we took the revenue we should. Just imagine.

The fight to mitigate climate change has two fronts now: ongoing climate activism to decarbonise and the increasing need to manage climate catastrophes.

Climate change affects all of us, but is already showing it affects some more than others.

Vote for social AND environmental justice.

As headlines like this become more frequent, it's important to consider how extreme heat impacts different communities.

Climate change is exacerbating inequality & adversely impacting the most vulnerable. We need climate and social policies that reduce this inequality. #auspol
Western Sydney’s urban heat is getting worse. In fact, it’s unsustainable
If many more people are to live in western Sydney, we must make it liveable.

Vote for strong positive action on climate change. Vote Green. Experts are saying Dutton’s plan for nuclear power doesn’t add up, it’s too slow and too expensive. We need to roll out renewables and fast track decarbonisation. Don’t get distracted by Dutton’s nuclear climate catastrophe.

This guy has no idea how energy works and he’s pitching a series of nuclear power plants planned on the back of an envelope.
Ludicrous.
Where will they be? How will they be insured or financed? Designed and built with whose expertise? And the radioactive waste?
