Ditto. Amp that with the common knowledge it wasn’t supposed to be her portfolio to start with, she did lay a groundwork for better policy.
I’ve met Murray, whilst a staunch ALP man, he’s obviously more susceptible to lobbyists interests.

We don’t learn. Simply because we won’t learn.
It’s a choice and one I don’t believe we’re taking seriously at all.
If the ALP environment minister keeps making choices like this, well, party member or no, I can’t ethically vote this way if these poor choices are made regularly.

“The federal Liberal Party leadership battle is like competing to be Captain of Titanic. It’s already sunk, and there isn’t much left.”

Can’t imagine how morally and ethically bankrupt a person has to be to fight over the shit fight that is the LNP.

So right Chefie. I found this little gem in Africa Space Today.
It’s really bringing home to me just how far the western media have sold out the truth for the benefit of largesse ( that’s never going to happen, just not punished publicly) from that filthy dictatorship that has become America #auspol

Me too Lynnette, if I had known prior to the election, I may have voted differently. Murujuga is worth more to me than company profits, and to top it off, there will be the billions we will be giving to the mining companies that will destroy the artworks. 😡 Not happy Jan.

The trump administration are now in the process of not just negating, in fact ridiculing the science behind climate change, but destroying the evidence of the same.

This gold standard carbon capture satellite has been ordered to be destroyed.

Opposition Home Affairs spokesman Andrew Hastie says he would quit the Coalition frontbench if the Liberals remain committed to a net zero by 2050 policy. Does he realise nobody cares what the Coalition does? Nobody but the right wing media is listening to them. #auspol #ClimateChange #NetZero

152 + countries of the 193 member states have recognised Palestine as an independent state.
Countries such as Russia, North Korea, China etc have not.
The United States has always blocked Palestine‘s Full UN membership (as they supply weapons to Israel)

Today I’m proud to be an Australian.
