Why can’t Albo just say “If Trump did what he proposed, it would be a war crime”? It’s not a running commentary, it’s a statement of fact.

The Coalition #nuclear plan would largely bring investment in large scale renewables and storage to a halt, and result in household solar being switched off on a near daily basis #auspol

What has happened to gambling reform under Labor? It’s simple – the government has been cowed by vested interests | Tim Costello

#COP29 failed to deliver climate justice. The so-called 'Finance COP' is morally bankrupt, with a US$300bn annual climate finance deal that’s far too little, far too late. The Global North must pay its climate debt and prioritise the health of people and the planet over fossil fuel profits. #auspol

New text drops at #COP29 and it is entirely unacceptable!
The #climatefinance goal is status quo = 2009 goal adjusted for inflation
The text is wide open to loans, carbon markets, anything really counting as #climatefinance, which makes the #NCQG meaningless.
