So proud to have been a part of this movement to @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social.

However, the right is not over.
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.

Earlier this week, Senator @mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social introduced a bill to the Senate that’d force universities to divest from fossil fuels, weapons, and gambling.

This is what some of us who have been campaigning on this issue think at Monash, UQ, and UniMelb.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is the projected Mayor-elect of New York City.

The win is decisive, and with a projected 2.2 mil votes, has seen an almost doubling of turnout, with new constituencies encouraged to vote.

Monash has announced its intention to shut down the MSDI, but there is no movement on the presence of #WoodsideEnergy on campus.

This hypocrisy represents a Uni that isn’t committed to meaningful climate action.

The Coalition was never gonna be a good faith partner on environmental reform. The path forward was going to be with the @greens.org.au and indies.

Labor needs to be willing to come to the table, stand up to WA mining companies, and make a progressive deal (this time without the PM sabotaging it).
Labor rejects 'mad' Coalition idea to cut environmental reforms in two
Opposition leader Sussan Ley wrote to the government on Sunday to suggest its environmental reforms be split into two to prioritise "practical measures to streamline approvals".

So privileged to have participated in the creation of this article from Gillian Aeria in the ABC on social media, protest, and Gen-Z in the Philippines and across Asia.

Was amazing to be part of the team (mga amazing na kababayan Nicole, Shen, and Paris!) and was an amazing read 🫶🏼

It was an absolute honour two weeks ago to interview @mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social after she spoke at the Refugee Action Collective protest.
Her words were not just inspiring, but empowering, especially for me as a young POC.
Big thank you again to Mehreen and team.

No political party that is taking money from the #fossilfuel industry is going to be able to engage in objective decision-making on an emissions goal.

We need to ban dirty money in politics 🚫
As the government prepares to announce a tougher target for emissions reduction by 2035, experts say that Australia has made no progress beyond the low goal set by the last Coalition government. satpa.pe/kHhIOJV

Experts warn Australia will not meet its 2030 emissions reduction target – at the same time as the Albanese government is expected to announce bolder targets for 2035.

An important opportunity to let the Uni know how powerful the @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social movement is ✊🏼✊🏼
@monashuniversity.bsky.social has given the #monash community a ridiculously short consultation period for their ESG policy revision.

SWM has concerns, and believe that any meaningful ESG policy would conclude that the partnership with #WoodsideEnergy is not tenable.

Help us tell that to the Uni!

6 days is a ridiculous period to review a 26 page document.

Monash must #pushbackthedate and make sure that students and staff can offer meaningful input in this ESG policy change.
@monashuniversity.bsky.social has put forward a public period for reviews on their ESG Green Paper that is only 6 BUSINESS DAYS long.

This is ridiculous and an extension is necessary for students and staff to review a 26 page document on their most consequential policy.

🛫💣 - The United States just bombed three sites in Iran.

Iran already made it clear that it will respond.

All of this 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 due to the threat of nuclear proliferation, a direct consequence of Trump withdrawing from the Iran deal.

No one wins in war, and civilians inevitably become targets.

Absolutely amazing to have Senator @mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social and the rest of the @greens.org.au support the @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social movement.

Not just is it essential advocacy, but it’s incredibly gratifying to know that my party supports this movement I care so much about 💚✊🏼
The Albanese Government must commit to fully funding universities to be places of democracy, equity and public good.

The Greens stand in solidarity with Stop Woodside Monash, and will keep pushing all universities to disclose and divest from dirty industries

The activists aboard the #Madleen never posed any kind of threat, and the @freedomflotilla.bsky.social was set to deliver life-saving aid to the Gaza Strip.

For these activists and humanitarians to be detained by the Israeli military and their aid seized requires international response.
