so far you've helped us raise $76k to counter this 🐂💩.

at 3pm today we'll transfer every cent we've raised to @allegraspender.bsky.social & @mon4kooyong.bsky.social's campaigns.

fossil fuel bullies are feeling the heat… it's up to us to push back.

🙏 donate 👇

🚨 this week the coal industry launched a dirty campaign against the independents through an ‘astroturf’ group: ‘australians for progress’.

using classic negative ad styling — complete with misinformation — billboards went up in monique ryan’s & allegra spender’s electorates.

so let’s help the independents run strong counter campaigns…

because politics is too important to leave to coal executives like those charming fellows from ‘coal australia’ and their astroturf LNP campaigners.

🙏 please donate 💸

it’s super clear: pro-climate independents are a clear threat to the coal lobby’s stranglehold on australian politics.

independents are proof that when australians take politics into their own hands, real change is possible.

@dsorennie.bsky.social great last two episodes of Drum Tower from an ‘average’ Chinese city. Very nuanced. I frequently hear ignorant view on or about China from people who have never been nor know next to nothing about its history or culture.

@zalisteggall.bsky.social Has anyone used ChatGPT to explore the 400+ pages of the draft electoral reform legislation to unearth the inevitable party stitch-ups in there?
