No leader who behaves in in the way Scott Morrison has behaved, no matter their political affiliations, is morally fit for the high office of Prime Minister. facebook.com/115067218523920… #March4Justice

Get real with climate commitments @ScottMorrisonMP, or stay home.
Silent treatment: how Scott Morrison earned Boris Johnson's climate summit snub. Fact: the Coalition has spent the critical decade working against the cause of climate action. The record is there for all to see, and the world knows it.#auspol theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Get your shit together Australia. @ScottMorrisonMP when will your Govt stop denying the climate emergency?

Time for meaningful #ClimateActionNow @ScottMorrisonMP @AngusTaylorMP — no more hiding from science.
It’s like a dark cloud has been lifted & the future suddenly looks bright again. Congratulations to the USA, I could not be happier for you or more grateful to you. Now it’s up to Australia to pull our weight. #USElection2020 #TrumpGoneScottyNext

This is where Rudy Giuliani was speaking from today. LOL.
It certainly captures the moment

I saw the US election as a referendum on whether humanity can reject lies, corruption, racism, sexism, bigotry, ignorance and manipulation... to embrace facts, science, compassion, common human decency, a quest for equality, love and HOPE. YES. IT. CAN. #BidenHarris2020
The voters have spoken, and they have chosen @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris to be our next president and vice president. It's a history-making ticket, a repudiation of Trump, and a new page for America. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen. Onward, together.

Folks, here's a new piece for @renew_economy - on @BloombergNEF's interesting new 2020 'Energy Outlook', another new report adding to a big pile telling us that immediate action is needed to make emissions decline as fast as possible: reneweconomy.com.au/peak-emi…

And, we have the highly-dubious honour of being the world's leading seller of coal and gas (@UNSW Climate Transition Series). We need less spin, more action on emissions reduction. NOW. #auspol #stopgaslightingus
There is no Australian solution to climate change, according to @DarrenChesterMP BUT BUT BUT Australia must do the heavy lifting on emissions reduction after decades of the worst sort of leaning. #qanda

We should thank people working in the fossil fuel industry for their service and help them transition into new industries. @mcannonbrookes #qanda

One of the best ideas I’ve heard all year! #SolarOurSchools - many private schools are saving tens of thousands $ with installations & renewables buys - let’s help our public schools do the same. Could NSW lead on this? What do you think @Matt_KeanMP @smitchellmlc ?
AP4CA have presented a “no-brainer” solution to ScoMo's energy woes: their #SolarOurSchools" initiative would replace Liddell coal-fired power plant’s capacity whilst also delivering co-benefits like thousands of regional jobs across Australia. ap4ca.org/we_have_the_soluti…

Hi @chrishemsworth -- #SolarOurSchools from @ap4ca calls for solar batteries on every Australian school and early childhood centre. Emissions reductions huge cost savings learning opportunities for our kids, it's a win-win-win. Would you share the Open Letter to the PM?

Check it out! Thank you @mcannonbrookes for supporting #SolarOurSchools 🌞 Three days to sign the open letter before it’s delivered to the PM ap4ca.org/solarourschools @ap4ca

Option 2 @ScottMorrisonMP - you want to “replace Liddell”? How about solar batteries on schools. Gas won’t drive down power prices, our kids will... a thread on why this is a brilliant idea, supported by the #MillionJobsPlan & me 👇🏻
- AEMO? More gas generation not needed - CSIRO? Gas generation = expensive electricity - Economists? Gas extraction creates very few jobs - Scientists? Gas incompatible with our Paris goals - Investors? Gas has bad returns. No $. Politicians? <Ignore experts> MORE GAS! 🤦🏻‍♂️
