It's just been confirmed that Monash University is dropping Woodside as a partner because they don't align with their sustainable values. This is an incredible win for @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social who have run a dedicated grass roots campaign for years.

South Australia has announced a $17.5m fund to subsidise half the cost of new gas projects in the state - the same state that leads the country in renewables uptake. The decision has been welcomed by Australian Energy Producers.
