Paddocks speak louder than policy.

While the Liberal Patry ditches Net Zero, farmers across the country know their future depends on it.

If Parliament Lived Like Farmers Do, Net Zero Would Be a No-Brainer
On the back roads between Lismore and Mullumbimby during my #eBike4Australia trip to Brisbane, I stopped beside a farm with a bright yellow sign that said everything Australia needs to hear right now:...

Too bad the Las Vegas Motel in Tweed Heads didn’t have any vacancies.

Anyway Surfers Paradise isn’t really my thing so I’m pushing onto Brisvegas tonight!

Saw these gorgeous dairy cows in the Lismore fog this morning.

I love cheese. My cardiologist and the climate both tell me to eat less of it.

But climate action doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing - eat half as much cheese, cut your emissions from cheese in half. #eBike4Australia

Got waylaid yesterday on Bundjalung Country by heavy rain.

But am back on the road and am aiming to hit BrisVegas tonight.

A day earlier than planned.

Can’t wait to speak and engage at #AlterCOP30 Australia on Monday.

As the Liberal Party trashes its Net Zero commitment, Elders like Uncle Gary Williams are watching climate change hit Country in real time - fires, floods, species out of sync.

At the very moment that ⁦‪the Liberal Party is‬⁩ abandoning net-zero, families across the world, like the Adikarams from Sri Lanka, are proving that global action is already happening.

The old Pacific Highway has been renamed in Gumbaynggirr language.

It means “Hello”.

I’ve already smashed out 150km from Newcastle to Forster today and have another 40km to get to Taree where I’m sleeping tonight.

Sore knees. But worth it with scenery like this for 50km through Myall Lakes National Park.

Australia can’t escape the reality. We are exporting the climate problem as the world’s largest coal exporter.

Awkward Australia!

We can’t keep killing ourselves that getting domestic emissions down while continuing to export massive amounts of coal and gas will create a safe future for our kids and Country.

Compassionate, honest, and accountable independent pollies like @allegraspender.bsky.social give me faith that Australia can not only meet the climate crisis challenge, but also become a better place in doing so.

I dropped in to thank Allegra today for all she does for our kids and Country.

Cruise ships are one of the worst things on the planet for climate and our environment.

A single ship like this can emit more toxic air pollution in a year than all the cars in Europe combined. That’s not leisure, that’s poisoning the planet. 👇🏽

If politicians like ⁦‪Barnaby Joyce‬⁩ and Matt Canavan‬⁩ really cared about farmers, they’d fight invasive species. Not renewables.

Blackberries affect 75 times more land than we’d need for a 100% renewable grid.👇🏽

NSW Southern Highlands today.

I’ve cycled through thousands of hectares of canola, wheat, cattle and sheep. Not the wall-to-wall wind and solar that Barnaby Joyce, Angus Taylor and Matt Canavan carry on about.
