The climate targets announced by @albomp.bsky.social are so weak - imagine if we all took this attitude to work! Shame on the government for once again letting down Australia #climate #targets

This comic was done in consultation with my partner Matt :)

“Achievable” as in weak!?

The PM @albomp.bsky.social has had a busy month so far, trying to convince the world he’s a climate champion when really he and Murray Watt are proving just how willing they are to sell Australia’s future for fossil fuel profits

Even former Foreign Minister Bob Carr is quoted today in the media saying Albo was wasting his breath. Less talk, more action @albomp @senatorpennywong

Did you catch @senatorpennywong in Parliament yesterday saying Australia exports “non-lethal components and parts” for F35 bombers? F35 have been used by Israel to bomb Palestinians in Gaza, and Australia is aiding that by exporting F35 parts.

How this differs from "hopes and prayers" is not immediately obvious.

Just in case you missed this, this was the first week back in Parliament. It’s revealing to see what motivates @albomp.bsky.social’s government to act. The PM has released yet another statement today about Israel, but again no actual sanctions.

The last panel was harrowing to draw. #auspol

I feel like “always look on the bright side of life” really encapsulates @albomp @murraypwatt Labor’s delusional climate policy where they keep approving massive new coal and gas projects and then claim they’re acting on climate change.

Good to see all the cartoonists covering the Australian Climate Case this week on Insiders. The incredible work done by Uncle Pabai, Uncle Paul and their community in the Torres Strait needs to be talked about again and again - and @albomp.bsky.social needs to be called out #climatejustice

My heart is hurting for the Torres Strait and the community who brought the historic legal challenge on climate grounds to the Albanese’s government and lost today. They say they are steadfast in their fight for Country and Culture. If only Albanese had an ounce of their courage.

I think we need to stop obsessing over the mushroom murders and turn our attention to the NT coroner’s inquest report into the police shooting and death of Kumanjayi Walker by policeman Zach Rolfe

At this very moment, Netanyahu's plane is flying over France, with the approval of its government. A clear violation of the Rome Statute that France is a signatory to.

Having the best time at the International Environment Communications Association conference - this comic art for environmental storytelling workshop was so much fun! Reminded me how much I love to run workshops, want to do more :)
