A month ago, community members delivered a sign-on letter to BHP and #DirtyDozenPolluters. Will they respond to the demand to pull their weight on climate? #SafeguardOurClimate #Auspol

Check out the person at the top for scale.
Australians do not want to lose these magnificent giant trees across our continent. We're so lucky to have beautiful old-growth forest here in Victoria.
We must end native logging @tanya_plibersek @LilyDAmbrosioMP

Now THAT's a tree. 500 years old, 80 metres tall. [You need to click on the pic to get a full appreciation of its majestic size.]
And yet, it's in an area of Tasmania slated for logging. We need to be so much better than this.

Today on Black Friday is the perfect day to sue the state over its insufficient climate policies.
So that’s what we did.
See you in court!

Victoria needs a serious plan to seize the opportunities of switching to clean, renewable power, not a gas pipe-dream.

URGENT: We're concerned the Andrews govt is under pressure from VicForests to gut Victoria’s enviro laws and allow illegal logging to continue.
Call @DanielAndrewsMP on 03 9651 5000 and call on him to commit to protecting out forests. More: envirojustice.org.au/blog/on…

WOW! A massive solar win in NSW 🌞🔋
Can we get this happening in Victoria @LilyDAmbrosioMP ?
Or, better yet, nationally @Bowenchris @michrajah ?

BIG WIN! ⚡🎉
We welcome the NSW Government announcement to open ALL state school rooftops to solar energy savings and for stepping up to enable state schools to be part of a clean energy future! @Matt_KeanMP @smitchellmlc 👏

Gas is responsible for 16% of Victoria’s carbon pollution. The more we burn, the more we damage our climate.
But Matthew Guy has said he wants to “turbocharge gas production”!

Teals demand government scrap carve-out for native forest logging
“Having the government negotiating with the forestry industry on logging is akin to it negotiating with the tobacco industry on health.”

Our votes are precious. We need to vote for climate candidates, not those whose parties are funded by fossil fuels.

Despite Labor’s improved emissions target, Australia has only gone up four places in the annual climate change performance index.
Why?
Largely because of our government’s plans to increase coal & gas production by more than 5% by 2030.
Australia must do better.
