Today, under the cover of the Liberals tearing each other down, Labor has approved another coal mine extension.
Extending Middlemount to 2044 means Labor has now approved 35 fossil fuel projects.
In the middle of the climate crisis, they're approving more coal & gas.

Taxing billionaires out of existence may be the most critical domestic policy fight of our lifetimes.
Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.
