Meanwhile Australia opens massive new fossil fuel export projects with vastly more emissions than all the pacific states combined.
Australia is an out-of-contol petrostate, drowning its Pacific neighbours, and should not be allowed to host COP31.

Well, you’ve got to give @walabor.bsky.social credit for consistency in doctoring reports they commission that don’t support their claims about gas exports.

The WA gov spent $400k on a report from scandal ridden Deloitte to say gas exports are good for the climate.
But even Deloitte (who let’s face it would say almost anything they are paid to) were like.. um.. yeh… maybe not…
So the government buried the report and just kept saying it anyway.

Coal seam gas has turned tens of thousands of square kilometres of QLD into industrial gas fields.
For what?….export by foreign owned gas corporates who don’t even pay tax in Australia.

The reason taxpayers are having to bail out Australia’s heavy industry is that our governments let Big Gas export 2/3 of our gas and price gouge us…for our own gas!
Gas exports have tripled wholesale gas prices and doubled electricity prices.

Why is Tomago in trouble?
Because @qldlabor.bsky.social and @australianlabor.bsky.social governments approved unconstrained gas exports, causing gas prices to triple and electricity prices to double.
Gas exports are an economic disaster for Australia.

More disgrace for the Big Four organised crime syndicate.
It’s structural. Their whole business model is ripping off taxpayers.
Our governments need to end their feeding frenzy, and employ public servants.

But no.
The LNP “welcomed the government's decision to rule out a climate trigger "after sustained pressure".

So the NSW police are trying to stop the pro-Palestinian rally… like they did with the nazi flag wavers protest…
… oh, right but they didn’t!
So it’s only protests against Israels genocide that are a problem… Nazis are fine…I get it.

Australia’s target is 62% which is pathetic.
The 70% is meaningless because we only have to reach 62% to meet the target.
Australia continues its wrecking role in global efforts prevent climate collapse because our governments want to keep approving giant fossil fuel export projects.

Fun facts about Chevron!
1. They get all the Aussie gas they export from FOR FREE
2. They’ve NEVER paid PRRT
3. They were fined $340 million for tax avoidance
4. Our stupid government is refunding half the royalties they’ve paid for Aussie oil to pay their cleanup costs
5. They’re massive whingers
