180 Palestinian journalists and media workers have been killed by Israel in Gaza. @withmeaa.bsky.social members remember them. Stop killing journalists.

Nearly 200 Palestinian journalists have been killed in Gaza. The rest work under sickness, hunger and fire to report the reality there. Meanwhile the rest of the world’s media is locked out. This is a global press freedom crisis and @withmeaa.bsky.social was proud to join the March for Humanity.

This is my grandma and grandpa a few years after WW2. My grandma was 19 when she was taken to Auschwitz. My grandpa spent years in Nazi labour camps. My grandma would often talk about her experiences. One day when I asked her why, she said to make sure it’s not forgotten. #HolocaustRemembranceDay

Geez there’s a lot of lightning over Sydney tonight!

John, I don’t understand how you bother taking to social media to criticise a story without reading it.

6. Finally, a note on the targets. The 2030 targets will require lots to be done (like building transmission and a workforce) to ensure the renewables can be ramped up sufficiently, in line with the projections. And then for 2050... well... something will need to happen in the rest of the economy.

5. Now for the projections... Labor's 2030 target will me met mostly by cuts in the electricity sector. But you need to read the projections with caution. They actually simply *assume* that the cuts are made, and pop them on the chart. (Also, those cuts peter out after 2030.)

4. Without those specific cuts, this is what our emissions history looks like. Emissions in 2023 were almost identical to 2005.

3. Another problem with that (aside from not representing a shift in how our economy is functioning) is that the measure of land use emissions is very unreliable. The government changes its mind every year about it. And each time, it seems to be revised to make things look better.

2. The majority of the cuts since 2005 have been in the land sector - not doing things like, erm, stopping burning fossil fuels...

So, I did a bit of a dig through the quarterly emissions update and the projections, and pulled out a few things. Much of this won't surprise those who follow this closely. But all this stuff deserves continued attention. 🧵

1. Our emissions reductions have basically flatlined since 2020.

Streeps biggest role yet: voice of humpback whale.

Good to plan ahead I guess?!
