Disgusting that @NSWWater - a government agency - is deliberately drying out key Gwydir wetland, killing #turtles and #birds. It refuses to release dam water to save wildlife in this #Ramsar wetland, because a landowner complained. #wildlife #endangered theguardian.com/environment/…

The majority of earth's scientists now believe we are headed for at least 2.5°C of warming.
We're in a climate emergency. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

Angry at proposed shooting of 430 #elephants as trophies in Botswana. @DonPinnock says a foreign #hunting lobby is “at the centre of Botswana’s #wildlife policy machinery” influencing how many elephants, leopards and lions can be killed each year.” africanelephantjournal.com/b…

For those out there who still think of anthropogenic climate breakdown as a blip
It takes around 400,000 years for nature to completely remove a tonne of CO2 released by human activities

Dismayed that once enlightened New Zealand has decided to adopt the Trumpian approach of ignoring the deadly perils of climate change and reject emissions targets. #climatecrisis theconversation.com/nzs-reje…

Science isn’t a belief space like religion or politics.
Atmospheric physics doesn’t care about what climate denialists think and say.
Climate chaos is here and will accelerate until emissions go down.👇🏽

Two-thirds of Ningaloo Reef wiped out. A World Heritage site turned to graveyard in months.
Remember this every time a politician tells you we’re “on track”.

Encrypting lobbyist-to-Cabinet ministers so interactions are un-FOI-able. Unminuted verbal communications preferred. Our duopolist PM @AlboMP has no intention of reforming the Commonwealth culture to TRUST through ethical transparency. See also distressing failure of @NACCgovau

Multiple sources confirm the Albanese government has pushed lobbyists and industry groups to use encrypted messages and verbal briefings when proposing policy ideas, to avoid FOI and disclosure requirements. Read more: satpa.pe/dykkuOh

Why does the Albanese govt seem to have so much to hide & seem so afraid of scrutiny?
Transparency, different perspectives & robust policy debates build a stronger democracy.
This culture of secrecy is deeply concerning & risks repeating failures of administrations past like Robodebt.
We need safeguards & better practices to document govt decision-making in the digital age so our integrity doesn’t disappear along with the signal messages.

Disgraceful that the @AlboMP government keeps shrugging off its responsibility to asylum seekers and ships them off to starve or suffer endless imprisonment. Cruel and lacking all humanity. Refugees should be processed fast onshore. #humanrights theguardian.com/world/2025/d…

Albanese government blindness when it comes to saving #nature shown in cuts to critical CSIRO environment research. As one scientist said direction appears to be “to drop the ball on our #extinction crisis, our global leadership in #biodiversity science.” theguardian.com/australia-ne…

This is the sort of funding cut I would expect from climate science denying Coalition, not the Labor Party. Environment is so low on their priority list. Our kids future is at stake with lack of action on climate and biodiversity crisis.

Shocking that Sydney protester might lose sight in one eye after police arrest. Her “crime”? Taking part without police permission in small peaceful protest against firm# allegedly supplying material for Israeli jets. #rights #constitution theguardian.com/australia-ne…

No baby formula has entered Gaza for four months because of Israel’s genocidal blockades. There is nothing left to feed babies and their mothers can not produce milk as they themselves are starving. There is no defending what Israel is doing. No justification.

Climate crisis censorship. Top NOAA #climatechange website staff fired in Trump purge. “Hiding the impacts of climate change won’t stop it from happening, it will just make us far less prepared when it does,” says former NOAA spokesperson. #globalheating theguardian.com/us-news/2025…

Ningaloo #coral catastrophe should give “environment” minister Watt nightmares. His granting Woodside permission to operate its highly polluting gas plant to 2070 will further devastate the region, our lives and all life on earth. Change the laws! #climate theguardian.com/environment/…

Energy efficiency standards to be axed in USA. Why? ‘Trump has long targeted efficiency standards for appliances, blaming showerhead guidelines in particular for ruining his “perfect” hair.’ So vain, so dumb! #carbon #environment #energy #climatecrisis washingtonpost.com/climate-e…

Following Trump pattern of trashing reputable mainstream #media, Australian opposition leader tells supporters not to listen to ‘hate media’, listing our @abc, and @GuardianAus. Disgraceful. Vote right-wing reactionary out. #Journalism #auspol #trumplite theguardian.com/australia-ne…
