I have been an active member of the ALP since the early 70’s. The description of the ALP by a group calling themselves “Labor Israel Action Committee” and reported in the Murdoch press makes no sense to me or thousands of ALP members. It’s straight out of the Starmer play book!

Would you consider donating to the Matt Canavan climate trust. He would really appreciate that this trust has been set up in his name. Let’s make the National Party obsolete?https://www.climate200.com.au/campaign/the-canavan-climate-trust?utm_source=nationbuilder

Labor can’t be taken seriously on climate change until they address the most important first step, which is stopping new or expanded fossil fuel projects. How can we be taken seriously @ COP31 unless we address climate change holistically? Will you sign?

✍️ ADD YOUR NAME: Phase out fossil fuels
Emissions reduction targets won’t solve the climate crisis if they’re built on fiction. It's time for the government to tackle the biggest source of carbon emissions in Australia – fossil fuels.

A gas plant 7km from Darwin has been leaking massive quantities of methane for 30 years. The NT Environment Protection Agency knew but has done nothing. The chair of the NT EPA is a paid lobbyist for the co-owner of the gas plant.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

That’s my take on it.
“Jim Chalmers says environment laws need overhaul to stop people ‘burning cash waiting for approvals’”

Is this code for “let’s kill some koalas”?

Treasurer says ‘status quo is no longer acceptable’ on Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act.

The gambling industry is targeting our kids. The govt said it doesn't want to put platforms before people when it banned children's access to social media, but it is failing to protect young people being preyed on by sports gambling companies.
