As climate disasters become more frequent, fewer Australians will be able to insure their homes.

A Snow Leopard caught on a trail cam.
“While Australian households and businesses are being stung by extremely high fuel prices caused by the crisis, gas companies are reaping extraordinary profits from this same crisis.”
Perverse indeed, and time Australia starts thinking of its future generations.
Australia isn’t immune to this either.
You can already see it in our tax incentives and housing market - the system increasingly rewards wealth accumulation over work.
We risk losing sight of supporting those who need it most now, and our next generation.
Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.
Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.
They are good for society and the economy.
Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.
The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.
It’s time for accountability.
$1.4 Billion in unused medical research funding. 😭
C’mon Australia - you’re crippling your own future.

Today the United States wasted another #1B on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point. #endtheiranwarnow
When there’s such clear evidence that investing in science brings $$ back to Australians, not spending it is like refusing compound interest.
Hard to see the logic.

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero speaking to reporters
Irene Montero: No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression — Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Afghanistan. It will not happen in Iran either
When they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for profit, their imperial wars — they hide behind women’s rights to justify them
The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.
Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."
“And for him to turn around in the last week and have a crack at David Pocock and Grace Tame, you could not be further departed from the reality of Australians to do that.” – Hannah Ferguson

Our taxes
Our taxes are paying for this instead of healthcare.
For 100+ years fossil fuels had subsidies, tax breaks, military protection, pollution externalized & zero carbon pricing. Renewables and EVs get a short-term rebate and suddenly it’s “market distortion.” If combustion was truly superior, it wouldn’t need a century of life support. #Bettrification ⚡
Richard Denniss, you’re a bloody legend.

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.
A stark cover editorial in The Lancet.
When one of the world’s leading medical journals speaks this plainly, it’s not politics, it’s a warning about trust in science and public health.
Rebuilding trust takes decades. Losing it only take a few months.
That should concern us all.

Australia’s FBT exemption cuts transport emissions > live. By lowering upfront costs, it’s accelerating #EV uptake (~13% of new sales) & pushing petrol emissions below pre-COVID levels. Policy shifts > markets. Incentives + standards = structural decarb. #Bettrification keeps winning ⚡
Vaccination is one of the most effective science-led public health interventions EVER.
Eroding trust in science directly harms children when adults meant to protect them pretend they know better.
Parents and lawmakers - Do your job: listen to scientists and protect our kids.
It’s so sad to see our Tax $ going to an industry that direct harms human health and the planet, while scientists working on the cures for said issues are severely underfunded.
$30 Million each day. Imagine how many science labs that would fund.
Australia, time to do better!

Let’s not forget EVs are still early in their cycle and rapidly evolving. 5 years from now there will be a lot more 2nd hand EVs, and prices for new vehicles will cover the spectrum from affordable to luxury. Just like how ICE vehicles currently do.
Already more than 5,000 Australians have joined our campaign to release more funding for medical research in the 2026 Federal Budget.
If you can spare 30 seconds of your time to join our campaign, you’ll help fund life-saving cures in Australia.

2.5 Tonnes. Every. Second.
That’s just bananas!!
Despite the rise in renewables now taking over from fossil fuels, Australia still has a long way to go to reduce our carbon footprint.

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.
Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.
Our priorities are so fucked.
“CO₂ is good for crops” is like saying “steroids build muscle” and stopping there.
Yes, fertilisation effects exist. But field constraints, extreme heat, water stress and nutrient limits matter.
