On CBC last night, I spelt out the moral case to keep on trying, however hard it might be. Defending the living planet is not an option we can abandon. Ultimately, it is all that counts.

The gas lobby is rolling out more fearmongering about a gas "shortage".

Don't fall for the con job. It's a cover for them to justify opening up massive new export projects.

Australia exports 35 times more gas than any predicted shortage. #auspol

Good read from George Megalogenis. Not sure I agree with the association of teals and professional leafy suburbs, community independents are so much more than that.

Looking forward to the 48th Australian Parliament having the largest crossbench in our history!

Gutless from Govt.

There’s a clear path through parliament for gambling advertising reform with support of crossbench - even the coalition to a point.

Why won’t they prioritise an issue that’s so important to our communities & protecting young people?
