The Labor–Liberal duopoly is wrecking our climate. They keep backing coal, gas and native forest logging while nature collapses and the planet cooks. I called out the hypocrisy in Parliament!🌳🌎💚

Last year in Parliament, I warned the Minns Labor Government that their new tough-on-crime laws would fail to keep communities safe and only result in greater over-policing of First Nations kids - and that's exactly what happened.

“NSW is on track to miss greenhouse gas targets, its inland rivers are dying, land clearing is rampant, and the number of threatened species has increased”
We don’t just deserve real environmental action and protection, our very existence relies on it!

Over 7 months late and the NSW Gov.’s State of the Environment Report confirms what we already know: our environment is in crisis.
Meanwhile, the Minns Gov. underspent nearly half a billion dollars on environment protection and have not allocated enough in this week's budget to address the crisis.

Today we gathered outside of Parliament & called this out loud & clear. I talked about Aunty Narelle Wilson - Gumbaynggirr Elder who wrote to the Premier on behalf of the Clans of the Gumbaynggirr Nation telling him he must make good on his promise, protect the forests of the GKNP.

This morning frontline heroes stood strong at NSW Forestry HQ in Coffs Harbour, calling on the Minns Labor Government to protect the crucial and iconic Orara East State Forest. Good caring people are stepping up to protect NSW's Forests. Don’t stay silent. Get involved.

This morning I joined the rally outside the law courts as Josh Lees, on behalf of Palestine Action Group, challenged the Minns Labor Government’s draconian anti-protest laws.
We won’t be intimidated. We will keep fighting for the right to protest! 🔥❤️

UPDATE: Logging machines have entered Orara East State Forest — under police guard.
This is the forest promised as part of the Great Koala National Park. Instead of protection, the Premier has sent in extinction machines and police to defend them.

The Guardian has reported on NSW Labor Premier Chris Minns' shady back room deal with the Shooters Party - so they can have their Game Council 2.0.
It's honestly so cooked - handing our public lands to the gun lobby, pretending its good for the environment.

The Premier’s extinction logging machines are rolling in to Orara East State Forest!
We must take action. If you can get to Orara go now - It's only 20 minutes from Coffs Harbour.

Let’s call it what it is: recreational hunting is not effective invasive species control. It contributes little of value and actively undermines effective control programs.
The Minns Labor Government must stop playing politics and start delivering real solutions.🌿🦘

On the eve of World Environment Day I spoke in Parliament about Labor's hypocrisy. They were voted into power on the promise of climate action and the protection of nature, yet the truth lies in their actions. They continue to approve new Coal and Gas developments and log our precious native forests

On ABC this morning, I called out the Shooters new bill for what it is: Game Council 2.0.
I remember what the old one was like. It was shocking — riddled with corruption and failure. We can’t let that happen again.

The critically endangered Leadbeater’s possum has been found in Kosciuszko National Park! It was thought to be extinct in NSW.
The results of removing invasive species is proving to be exactly as the experts said, give the ecosystems a chance to recover before it’s too late - and recover they will!

In response to the increase in people held on remand due to the Minns Labor Government’s draconian law and order agenda, they are planning to invest $500 million to “strengthen” the prison and legal systems.

This week, I had the privilege of having a chat with local hero Peter Elzer, who is currently undertaking a 12-day fast for forests. I carried his voice into parliament & spoke truth to power - it’s time to establish the GKNP. Thank you Peter for your courage — we stand with you. 🌳 🐨 💚
