Concerning reports the unreleased National Climate Risk Assessment is “dire” and “diabolical”.
It maps what the people & places we love stand to lose from climate change.
We should know this before the govt sets our 2035 emissions target
Release it now.

Labor keeps ‘dire’ climate report under wraps

The central argument of Animal Liberation is simple: speciesism - the bias in favour of our own species - is no more defensible than racism or sexism.
Throughout history, dominant groups have exploited the less powerful for their own interests.

Labor read the room on Gaza. What does that say about our indifference to Palestinians?
Labor's silence on the genocide in Gaza has been simultaneous with its near-total silence on Indigenous affairs since the referendum.

Apocalyptic scenes from Kyiv overnight.
Russia sent in 250 strike drones & ballistic missiles. 8 cities attacked & ALL civilian targets - colleges, shops, homes.
History shows that weakness only emboldens the aggressor & Trump’s strategy with Putin has been a catastrophe.

Opinion | The bipartisan weakening of Australia's already brittle environmental act will have devastating effects on Tasmania's animals and ecosystems, all for the short-term gain of the dirty salmon industry.
This election, we're desecrating 10,000 years for roughly 10,000 votes
The Maugean skate has lived in Tasmania’s Macquarie Harbour for thousands of years. That doesn't seem to matter now the area is a swing seat.

Yo! Shoutout to AOC & Bernie for leading by example — showing up, speaking truth & organizing w/the people, not just talking at them from D.C.
We need that same energy from all Dems. Whether it’s 35,000 or 35 people — show up. Hit the streets, hit the town halls, show you’re ready to fight for us.

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country.
All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.
