In 2022, the Coalition lost an election in which climate change was the biggest issue.

In 2025, they do not have a single policy which would decrease our emissions in the next 10 years.
‘Bordering on incredible’: Coalition under fire for planning to scrap Labor climate policies and offering none of its own
With Peter Dutton’s views on climate change in the spotlight, the focus has turned onto whether there will be any policies to reduce emissions in the next decade

An hour or so before a booked out Kooyong Candidates Forum at Hawthorn Town Hall, Amelia Hamer pulls out.

Tonight, hundreds of Kooyong voters will see an empty chair - just like they did with Frydenberg.

And her reason? Have a look. 👇

A brilliant but disturbing book that anyone interested in #democracy should read. Very worrying that the #MAGA led #USA has joined the autocrats and kleptocrats in Russia, China, etc #applebaum

PM Albanese needs to immediately come out and criticise the ridiculous Trump US tariffs on Canada and Mexico and support those two countries. And why are we in the silly #AUKUS pact with those MAGA maniacs again? #auspol

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Excess daytime solar is not a problem: we’re just not using the electricity as well as we could.

The govt should help Australians access household and community batteries, to benefit from the world’s cheapest electricity and take pressure off the grid.

The Coalition’s incessant whining about the reality that voters prefer Independents of substance and integrity, over entitled, vacuous losers is headline worthy crap in today’s Murdoch muck 🙄🤣
