The Albanese govt’s first term was the second most secretive on record.

Rather than changing their ways, they’re doubling down and tightening our FOI system to make it even harder to get information. Not a single expert or member of parliament outside of the Labor party has backed their new bill.

The algal bloom off South Australia’s coast is a devastating consequence of climate change.

We need stronger emissions targets, real investment in environmental science, and leadership that matches the urgency of this crisis.

Absolutely devastating, things like this can't really be modeled, we are now truly in uncharted waters.

Look after yourselves, do what you love and be with who you love. Control what you can, involve yourself in your community and help if you're able.

Instead of obsessing about Climate 200's crowdfunding to support candidates committed to saving our planet, maybe the media could focus more on Atlas Network's funding of individuals and organisations to promote climate denialism and undermine democracy to benefit the (very) privileged few?
A vote for the Liberal Party of Australia is a vote for the #AtlasNetwork and the destructive and noxious actions, values and beliefs held by individuals, politicians, governments, organisations aligned with it.

OMG, I've got #Insiders on Mute & they just trotted out Bridget McKenzie🤦 FFS, could it get any less 'expert'? Does my head in. Independent Journalism gets NIL funding & yet it craps all over ABC & MSM for relevance. No wonder so many ppl are ill informed & tuning out politics. #auspol #SundayShot

Peter Dutton says he wants to keep Australians safe — but won’t confirm if he accepts climate change is escalating.

Our security agencies are clear: climate change is a major threat. Denial is not leadership — it puts lives and our future at risk. #AusPol #ClimateAction

So Dutton is an actual climate denier, last night running standard tropes: "I'm not a scientist but...", and yet somehow also, "the science is uncertain" (paraphrased).

Why isn't this the biggest story of the day; of the campaign?

One of the unexpected bonuses of running in this election is getting to meet people like Bec, a regenerative agriculture farmer.

A big thanks to Bec and neighbour Nick for taking time to take me around the farm and sharing your knowledge, stories, and vision.
