"So, is it too late to save the climate? No...The sooner we stop climate change from worsening, the more disasters, famine and death we avert. We might not manage 1.5°C...but every tenth of a degree counts. The faster we...shift, the better our climate future." theconversation.com/earth-is-hea...
Earth is heading for 2.7°C warming this century. We may avoid the worst climate scenarios – but the outlook is still dire
The world seems to have avoided truly catastrophic climate scenarios, and global emissions may be about to peak. But we’re by no means out of danger

At a time when it seems that greed, wealth, and power are determining what is moral and ethical let us be grateful for real courage as shown by Chris Masters
Roberts-Smith’s rabid band of supporters has an outspoken new member – Gina Rinehart
Australia’s richest person has asked why this “brave and patriotic man” should be “under such attack”. The answer is nearly 1000 pages of court judgments.

This election campaign is pretty depressing in terms of the vision being presented for our country. But Dutton rolling out his 20-year-old son to ppl to pretend that he, Dutton the Dad, ‘gets’ how hard it is for parents watching their kids struggle - WHEN HE’S A MULTIMILLIONAIRE is so gross

Climate change is a huge environmental and societal problem.

Climate change is not the only environmental and societal problem.

For those journalists and media outlets that still seem to not get this, we’re in the midst of a biodiversity extinction crisis.

It’s a global existential crisis.

Dutton’s statement today tries to suggest Net Migration under him will be 100,000 less than under Labor but without specifying an actual target for 25-26 or 26-27 or the policies to get to that target. Treating Aussies like mugs.

Don’t let facts get in the way of spin.
I've been fact checking Dutton's claim that grocery bills have gone up 30% (nope more like 12%)

And Ted O'Briend's number that power bills have gone up $1,300 (nope more like $500-$600).

30 min of Peter Dutton’s budget reply and no plan for wages or to support wage rises. You can’t address cost of living without a plan for wages. His only policy is cutting rights, jobs and a vision for young ppl to get extra shifts at the pub servicing business ppl lunches

Thinking of those bracing for TC Alfred.

Climate change = more intense cyclones further south

The major parties have ignored the risks we’re facing & investment in adaptation has been inadequate

We need leadership to protect the people & places we love

Is climate change supercharging Tropical Cyclone Alfred as it powers towards Australia?
Cyclone Alfred formed in the Coral Sea towards the end of February when sea surface temperatures were almost 1C hotter than usual

I really appreciate your support of this challenge and its vitally important cause, raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research.

I was going about my normal duties representing the good working class folk of Dickson, such as myself, when I slipped and accidentally fell into the property market. On 25 occasions. As far as I’m concerned that is the end of the matter.
Good day

Dutton’s Smokescreen Insurance

A vote for Peter Dutton’s Liberal Party is a vote for more inaction on climate AND cost-of-living.

Proof? His unwillingness to address the real reasons your insurance premiums are rising.

Jenna Price provides an excellent insight on how the media controls and contrives what we should know and how we should think.

I know all about Murdoch stunts. I’ve been a victim of one
The Daily Telegraph’s stunt at a popular inner-city eatery was shocking. No one needs News Corp’s help in spreading discord.

Today I had a meeting with 4 other Indigenous women; all from remote communities; all with psych degrees.
A moment that needs to be acknowledged.
This is the “new Aboriginal” & the world better get used to it. We are no longer the “support act” to the psychologist; we ARE the psychologist

Watch all the righteous clutch at their pearls and swoon at Grace Tame’s latest protest. We can be outraged by a Fuck Murdoch T-shirt but not so much by what is going on in USA currently.
