Trump’s invasion of Venezuela should be a wake-up call for Australia.

We can’t keep pretending the US is a rules-based, shared-values ally.

It’s time to rethink who we trust before we go down with the Titanic.

Antisemitism is real and rising. Palestinian rights are real and urgent.

Criticising an Israel’s actions is not hatred of a people - and we should be able to say that clearly, without hate.👇🏽

“It’s time to hold our leaders to the speed of physics. If the climate can shift meaningfully in 2 yrs, then “net zero by 2050” without strong near-term cuts isn’t a plan - it’s just a slogan!”

Calling out Israel for its genocide in Gaza isn’t antisemitism. Just like criticising ISIS, Hamas and the Taliban isn’t Islamophobia.

It’s the human thing to do.

What is wrong, is the dog whistling and hate coming from the Right and the Left!

The Right call out “freedom » against regulating monster utes.

But real freedom is a street where kids can cross, elders can walk, and cyclists aren’t collateral damage.

Oversized luxury trucks steal that freedom from everyone else.

The Liberal Party’s decision to abandon Australia’s net-zero by 2050 target is reckless and a massive step backwards.

Glencore, a company that's expanding a massive coal mine in Queensland, Australia, is going to destroy a massive amount of koala habitat - and plans to buy 'koala offsets' to claim they've undone that damage

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
6.0 Final Score and Offset Liability Significant residual impacts will occur to environmental matters from the development of the study area and environmental offsets will likely be required through the State and Commonwealth approvals process. A land-based approach is required for significant residual impacts to MNES and a land-based approach should take precedence for MSES as these can be co-located in a single or multiple offset areas. Any residual MSES not covered by a land-based approach can then be sought through a financial settlement. 6.1 Combination Offset for MSES A land-based offset will primarily be sought for those State prescribed environmental matters where a significant residual impact will occur (Table 27). Any proposed offset area for MNES can also be ground-truthed for those prescribed environmental matters in Table 27. Any residual quantity for those prescribed environmental matter not covered by a land-based option may be sought through the DES web-based financial settlement offset calculator. 6.2 Land-based Offset for MNES A referral and subsequent approval under the EPBC Act is required for significant impacts to MNES. Overlapping significant environmental matters within the study area where a significant impact under the EPBC Act have been identified as likely to occur include Koala and Squatter Pigeon (Southern) habitat (Table 31). Given that significant impacts to MNES will occur within the study area, offsets in accordance with EPBC Act offset policy will be required. Note that there is a minimum of a 90 % land-based offset mechanism required under the EPBC Act offset policy. Multipliers for land area are determined via a number of parameters, many of which are dependent on attributes of a suitable offset land parcel, and will therefore be determined when additional information from the offset strategy is available. Table 31 The quantity and quality of MNES habitat where a significant impact has been identified MNES Quantity impacted (ha) …
