Here’s an article from this year with the Australian gun lobby boasting that, with surging gun numbers, it was winning the fight against firearms control advocates. Blame guns. Blame anti-Semitism. Blame terrorists. Do not blame everyday Australians who marched for peace.

We are reminded once again that "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that ... The chain reaction of evil—hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars—must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation." MLK

A horror night for Australia. But the acts of Australians from all walks of life to protect and help shows this nation is much stronger than those who seek to divide us.

After years of campaigning, we finally have a new national environment law. Some important wins came through, but the law still fails the climate test.
Until emissions are fully accounted for and climate impacts properly weighed, our forests, our future, and our climate remain at risk.
