Pro-gun groups are mobilising against gun laws, and celebrating the increase in guns in our community.

We've launched a petition to create a National Firearms Register to help close dangerous loopholes and better protect public safety.

Can you sign and share?

A nice Treasury chart that shows who benefits from the largest tax concessions in Australia by income quintiles from the Economic Reform Roundtable's Budget sustainability and tax reform paper. Shows why these tax concessions need to be overhauled #auspol

My latest for Bloomberg: the #PragmaticClimateReset. Part I: The transition is not dead - in fact it's on track as long as you think like a tortoise, not like a hare.

(Before you ask, Part II will be out over the summer)

I hope the Lattouf decision gives other board members decision makers around the country serious pause in the future.
Political opinions are still legal in this country. Facts and criticism about horrific human rights violations should be supported, not punished.

I'm genuinely surprised @aunz.theconversation.com would publish such a misleading article. This is not 'journalism you can trust' it's propaganda.

Content warning: blood, serious head injury. A woman was run down and trampled and clubbed by LAPD officers on horseback. She appears to be seriously injured and bleeding from the head as an officer drags her limp body along the pavement.

Telling people how to vote is fundamentally inconsistent with having a charitable purpose; charities cannot do it and maintain their lawful entitlement to charitable status.
At the request of MACS (Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools), Catholic schools have today sent this email to parents asking them to please vote LNP.

From a source: “Just had a co-presenter for a buildings research conference bow out. She’s a dual citizen and the FBI came knocking to ask her about her involvement in coauthoring chunks of the Paris Agreement.

Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

I have a new paper in Dialogues on Climate Change exploring climate outcomes under current policies. I find that we are likely headed toward 2.7C by 2100 (with uncertainties from 1.9C to 3.7C), and that high end emissions scenarios have become much less likely.
