Don't be distracted by the LNP shenanigans and allow Labor’s plan to overhaul biodiversity offsets – and nature laws more broadly – coast under the radar with comparatively little scrutiny. 👀

I DO NOT TRUST WATT !
Biodiversity offsets failed to protect habitat in NSW. Now federal Labor is about to make the same mistakes, critics warn
Offsets were meant to be a last resort for mitigating environmental damage from development projects, but rapidly became the default

"It’s cold and wet in #Gaza.

Displaced people are now facing a harsh #winter without the basics to protect them from the rain and cold.

A misery on top of misery.

More shelter supplies are urgently needed for the people of Gaza".

There's no indications it's actually producing significant amounts of drugs but what it does have is

Oil and lots of it

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.

You want to see a 1975 approach to the environment? Come to Tasmania!
We’ve got littering, dog shit in every park, we still burn our rubbish in backyards FFS. It’s hardly any wonder we salivate to cut down trees and pollute our water.
But we aren’t like “the mainland” and that’s the big thing. 🤬🤬🤬

The Victorians government's "adult time for kids" isn't about safety.

Experts are clear: harsher sentences just lead to more reoffending, not less.

This is politics at its worst, bowing to the far right & doing nothing to make communities safer.

Children aged 14 and above will face adult sentences in adult courts if caught committing violent crimes such as home invasions, in sweeping new reforms by the Allan government.

None of them want to build a new system. Not the ones who want to ditch net zero, not the ones who want to keep it, and not the ALP either. They all want to defend a fossil fuelled capitalist pretence of democracy where we can debate meaningless nonsense while they burn our future.
