NT strips funding from green groups, boosts fossil fuels, in foretaste of Dutton administration A move by the Northern Territory government to strip two environmental groups of funding and push through sweeping reforms to expand fossil fuel extraction is a sign of what’s to come under a…

The new Northern Territory government cut funding to two environmental groups the same week it has sought to introduce new laws that would potentially allow the Chief Minister to sweep aside environmental regulation for favoured gas projects.

I'd like to thank Matt Canavan for making Peter Dutton's life particularly difficult today.

Credit where credit is due.

INPEX seeks Australia's help to blow the Paris Agreement The Japanese energy giant is cherry-picking data to justify its gas growth plans.

CSIRO releases feasibility analysis for ‘low emissions hub’ concept in Darwin The reports explore carbon management solutions and low-emission manufacturing opportunities in the Northern Territory.

The Australian government's largest science agency, CSIRO, has become an enabler of the fossil fuel industry, promoting massive imports of CO₂ for injection into Australian gas fields (to push out more pollution), and to claim fictitious net-zero "offsets".

As the remaining Bali 9 members return home, ALHR’s thoughts are with the loved ones of Andrew Chan & Myuran Sukumaran - young men who had been demonstrably rehabilitated after 10 years imprisonment but who were executed. We must continue to work towards the worldwide abolition of the death penalty

“We know that Māori researchers, communities, and knowledge systems stand to suffer the most from this decision,” says Pou Matarua Professor Tahu Kukutai. “This decision defunds Māori research and Māori researchers by stealth."

Fascinating to see Amy Remeikis dropping all these truth bombs about the true agenda behind Dutton’s nuclear push in her new role working for @australiainstitute.org.au. She’s had to leave mainstream media to say this - all of it factual, watchdog journalism. Why can’t mainstream say it too?

Good one … I hope @purplepingers.bsky.social is at the top of the Crikey list for speaking out against house hoarding and shit rentals, as well as stirring up more than a few septic tanks

Make no mistake, colleagues: the exclusion of humanities & social science research from national competitive funding could easily happen here in Australia. The signs & actors are already clear. We let it happen at our collective peril.

It’s a dark day for research in Aotearoa New Zealand and the ramifications for the country are huge. Minister Judith Collins has just announced our blue-skies funder will no longer fund humanities & social science research and that 50% of what is funded must have economic benefit.

At the end of the day, Albanese has failed to reduce Australia’s emissions increasing the carbon debt for his successor and the nation.

Our kids will have to explain to thier kids why their grandparents didn’t go to war against the oligarchs.

How can this be even close to being considered a ‘trade off’? Revolting
