A handful of global fossil fuel corporations are boiling our oceans.

Some of the worst are operating in Australia.

Like Woodside, whose current WA gas export expansion will cause 6 BILLION tonnes of emissions.

They’re destroy your future

Due to the impeccable timing of a delayed official press release, you probably haven’t heard that 40% of corals on the southern Great Barrier Reef died in 2024 due to record-breaking heat exposure.

Israel just killed Khaled Nabhan, who called his granddaughter Reem “the soul of his soul” in a viral CNN report after they slaughtered her last year. They shared a birthday - she would’ve turned 5 next week. This isn’t war it’s the erasure of families, memories & histories- with impunity.

Refugees and asylum seekers have basic rights.

That the world agreed to grant them.

Including Australia.

They should never be an easy political target, bashed around at every election.

Let us respect and uphold our international obligations.

Not just talk and no action.

Lendlease has blatantly mislead the public and media about their “koala protections” on Appin Road.

There are none. Too many koalas are dying on Appin Road.

Tanya Plibersek should not be throwing taxpayer money at this problem. Either reduce or get rid of the salmon farms or get them to pay for it. We don't have time for 'trials'.
