Australia's largest gas project approved for operation to 2070 The life of Australia's largest oil and gas project will be extended to 2070, with Environment Minister Murray Watt giving the long-awaited environmental approval for Woodside's North West Shelf proje...

This is devastating news.

In his first major decision, Environment Minister Murray Watt has extended the life of Australia's largest oil & gas project until 2070.

Tuvalu's Climate Minister Maina Talia said the extension "would threaten our survival".

BREAKING: Multi-millionaire, multi-national petroleum CEO blames 14-year-olds buying clothes for the climate crisis.

Labor, Liberal and Nationals: all of these parties have no intention to stop coal and gas approvals despite our climate emergency. This election is an opportunity to vote for a party that takes the future of our young people seriously . #nonewcoal #nonewcoalandgas

The Labor govt has approved 34 coal and gas projects in their current term. This current election is an opportunity to vote in a hung parliament where smaller parties have a say in climate issues.
#nonewcoal #nonewcoalandgas

Anger towards the Nationals party seems to be growing in Mount Alexander community. Looks like their nuclear platform will not be winning them any votes, as everyone knowns that nuclear is too costly, too dangerous and too late. #nonuclear

Donations from the fossil fuel industry to the Labor party is perhaps why Labor are approving new coal and gas. We need a royal commission into fossil fuel ‘donations’ to political parties!

Voters can choose Greens who receive no fossil fuel donations.

Bendigo National party candidate Andrew Lethlean runs away from 15 year old who is concerned about how his nuclear plans would affect his future.

Now that the election has been called, this will be the first mass mobilisation against new fossil fuel projects for this election period. Show up, and call for an end to seismic blasting and new gas developments.

Honest Government Ad | Minority Government YouTube video by thejuicemedia

The Australien Government and the Opposition have made an ad about minority government, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. #auspol #2025election

An imitation collector card, with the brand "Australian Liberal Party Lies". This is #6. The tagline is "Collect them all ... so you don't elect them all!" The Lie section says: “Renewables are driving up power bills”. The Facts section says: “Coal and gas prices have DOUBLED, which pushed up wholesale and then retail electricity prices”. A series of small bar charts illustrate changes in relevant data between 2020/21 and 2022/23/24, showing coal prices increasing 135%, gas prices 112%, wholesale electricity prices 104%, and the percentage of renewables having increased 30%. Retail prices are shown in a larger chart to have increased 24% from 2020/21/22 to 2023/24. An arrow links wholesale prices to retail prices with the label “Lag”. Footnotes refer to the sources of the data as AER, ABS, Open Electricity, YCharts and OFX. The graphic is licensed as Creative Commons, Non-Commercial, No Derivatives.

A silent vigil yesterday marked the 14th anniversary of Japan’s Fukushima Nuclear Power reactor meltdown.
The disastrous legacy of this catastrophe should remind our community of the possible consequences of adopting any proposal for risky, expensive and too late nuclear power in our country

This morning we paper chained up Jacinta Allan’s office - her proposal to criminalise protest by banning chains, padlocks, glue and masks is an attempt to silence our democratic right to dissent.. but we will not be silenced!

“Democracy dies when protest is criminalised!”

This is the important message that we delivered to Vic Premier Jacinta Allan this morning, together with @xrvic.bsky.social and @averymbd.bsky.social

There’s been some small changes to the sounds, but it will still be a fabulous celebration of protest, with an important message for the Victorian Premier.
@xrvic.bsky.social

The Victorian Premier is destroying democracy by criminalising protest. Come along to celebrate protest, and tell Jacinta Allan that protest is a democratic right!

In 2023-24, fossil fuel companies donated over $1.8 million to the major parties. #auspol #climate

Is it any wonder dirty and expensive options like #gas are still being pushed by Labor and the Coalition?

Honest Government Ad | Nuclear (Australia) YouTube video by thejuicemedia

The Liberal Party of Australia has made an ad about its Nuclear Plan, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative! www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBqV...

Food systems are responsible for around one-quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions. Is this a way we can feed ourselves without destroying the planet?

It’s still a few weeks away, but pop it in your diary!

The global temperature daily record has been smashed for nine days in a row, and I cannot see a single headline article by a major news outlet.
