It's also worth having a little random dip in - there's some wild stuff!

There’s hope in Victoria for a ban on these sponsors. Pls email the Education minister commsdeclare.org/2025/10/07/v...

"some of the most effective undermining of environmental science has come from business leaders who say that their company is working alongside scientists [..] to solve climate problems
...
PR consultants will create [..] sponsorships for their clients that make them look good"

👀 at you, Scitech👀

Scitech (WA Science Museum) is sponsored by a few fossil fuel companies. Including Woodside who provide "free" access to STEM club for kids.

Free = access to educational opportunities in exchange for promoting Woodside. The cost to students is the loss of a liveable planet.

Good deal kids?

Schools will need to provide a staff member to enthusiastically support the program. *A $500 refundable deposit is required for delivery of this program." Last line is struck out in red pen replaced with the text: "* Program provided at no charge in exchange for promoting climate criminal Woodside.

I had not seen this. What a disgrace. Talk about a captured state and a totally captured institution. Scitech needs to sever all links with toxic industries including all fossil fuel companies.

I was shocked when I worked there as a science guide that we were explicitly not allowed to produce an exhibit on global warming and climate change. And we just... went along with it.

I only want it one way: A fast, clean energy transition. Woodside blocks this at every opportunity and they shouldn't be promoted by anyone who wants kids to have a safe climate.

So today I noticed that Hancock Prospecting is no longer listed as a major partner on Volleyball Australia's website.

I don't know who dumped who or why, but I wish Volleyball Australia the best. You will survive.

But Gina Rinehart also uses her billions to fund scare campaigns against climate action.

She's bad for volleyball

Global heating threatens to make outdoor sports untenable. AND elite sport will be a luxury we can't afford during climate collapse.

(good news at end)

When elite netballers took a principled stand against sponsorship by Hancock Prospecting a few years ago Volleyball Australia had a public grovel about how they LOVED being sponsored by Gina Rinehart's Hancock Prospecting and how great she is.

I'm making a climate banner for a balcony on a busy Melbourne road. Suggestions, votes or feedback welcome.

Ideas:

No New Coal No New Gas
No More Fossil Fuels
End Coal and Gas
Don't Cook the Planet with Gas
Safe Futures need Forests not Fossil Fuels

Newcastle Museum added to the Champs list as they don't have current fossil fuel sponsors.

They have a BHP gallery but it's about the historical role of steelmaking not a naming rights deal.

Glad Newcastle's cultural orgs aren't relying on a dying industry for funding!

Just to let everyone know, I'm going on a fax detox starting today. I won't be reading or replying to any faxes for at least two weeks.

I'm hoping this lifestyle change will give me headspace to focus on scrolling.

You can contact me via email, dm or come to my place of work if you can find it

i would again like to remind everyone that NEGATING A FRAME REINFORCES IT

"he's not really targeting criminals" makes it an argument about criminality

"this is a fascist attack" states what is actually happening

START WITH WHAT IT IS
not what it isn't

Folks this is your reminder that LNG is approx 1/3 MORE CLIMATE DAMAGING THAN COAL once methane escapes across the supply chain are counted. It is an egregious lie that fossil gas mining is needed for the energy transition; the exact opposite is true.

As South Australia's 💔 fossil-fueled algal bloom lays waste to marine ecosystems, SAPremier Malinauskas & Woodside declare their 🤎 4 each other:

"he said his support for gas is underpinned by his support for net zero.
At Woodside we wholeheartedly agree. Increased gas supply is a net zero solution"
Screenshot of a Woodside Energy LinkedIn quote-post of a post from Liz Westcott It reads: "Our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Australia Liz Westcott caught up with the South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas at The Australian's Energy Nation Conference and thanked him for his powerful endorsement for the role of gas." Liz Westcott's post reads: "It was great to catch up with Peter Malinauskas at The Australian's Energy Nation Forum in Sydney. The Premier shared a compelling example of the role gas can play in decarbonisation. He said that the Whyalla steelworks transitioning from a blast furnace burning metallurgical coal to using gas for direct iron production would halve the annual emissions of the steelworks. But the Premier said to achieve it, South Australia will need a lot more gas than is currently available. To put it another way, he said his support for gas is underpinned by his support for net zero. At Woodside we wholeheartedly agree. Increased gas supply is a net zero solution. Thank you for your unequivocal advocacy Premier." Image shows a smiling Liz Westcott (left) and a smiling Peter Malinauskas (right)

This is a huge influence here in Australia. Seems likely to do at least as much damage as the #gambling advertising. Both seem counter to the ‘clean’ image the #AFL asserts as a community focussed enterprise. #auspol
