I've started an urgent email campaign to demand the Water and Environment Ministers act now and save these turtles by ordering water be sent to the wetlands - take action now: www.catefaehrmann.org/gwydir_turtles
And it isn't because of a lack of rainfall. It's because the NSW Government stopped sending environmental water flows to the wetland a month ago - during breeding season - because a big cotton irrigator downstream has threatened to sue them if water was released and went onto his land 🤯
You will not believe what I've just seen. Hundreds of turtles stuck in the mud of a wetland in NSW that should be full of water and teeming with life. And a small dedicated team of scientists doing their best to rescue them. This is happening right now!
Victorians and Tasmanians have been given free public transport by their governments, yet Chris Minns doesn’t think we need it in NSW. Given how expensive Sydney is that’s pretty crap I reckon. It’s time for free public transport in NSW too 🚍🚊⛴️
🙈
I've sent an urgent letter to the Premier calling on him to follow the lead of the Tasmanian and Victorian Governments who have just announced free public transport as a way to help alleviate rising fuel costs and fuel shortages - MEDIA RELEASE

Yup. At some point all that furious and foolish opposition to EVs, wind and solar in Australia was really going to bite.

Massive congrats to Hannah the Plumber!!! The Greens first MP in northern England after a stunning byelection win today in the UK 🥳
Hannah was up against a well resourced smear campaign by the UK Labour Party and racist fear-mongering by Reform. This result shows hope & compassion can win 💚

I've been on another fact-finding tour to see the impact large-scale blueberry farming is having on the beautiful mid-north coast. You honestly won't believe where this one is 🤯
Ever since the horrific acts of brutality by NSW Police against peaceful protestors on Monday night, Chris Minns has backed their actions. This is very very disturbing. Here's (some of) what I said in Parliament about it.
Well done Cathy Wilcox. You’ve totally nailed what many are thinking about Minns so-called ‘social cohesion’. Maybe we need another word for it 🤔
Last night's obscene police violence in Sydney was reminiscent of what we're seeing from Trump's ICE operation in Minnesota. Yet just last week the Upper House passed a motion I moved expressing deep concerns about ICE's operations and the undermining of human rights in the US 🤔
Shame on the Liberals for wanting Mardi Gras defunded. We need to protect and fund Mardi Gras now more than ever 🦄🏳️🌈🪩
Mass fish kills occur mainly during heatwaves and droughts. They are becoming more frequent as our climate becomes more unstable. That's why we need to be doing much more to safeguard our rivers if they're to support life and livelihoods in the decades ahead.
It's heartbreaking and beyond frustrating to hear that more than 100,000 dead fish - bony bream - have been found washed up on the banks of Lake Menindee. Many more fish may have died, in this fish kill, the 7th major fish kill in the Darling Baaka/Menindee since 2018, and the second in a week.
When it comes to supporting new coal Labor is worse than the National Party was under John Barilaro. The worst bit? They pretend to care about climate.
Western NSW could hit 50°C today. Weather records are tumbling across the country.
People, wildlife, livestock are dying. Livelihoods wiped out. Weather related disasters from an unstable climate are making things cost more.
Yet Labor keeps adding fuel to the fire by approving new coal & gas 🤯
Calls to kill sharks are rubbish and irresponsible. We need to be listening to and acting on the facts, but instead we've got irresponsible and shameless sensationalism from the likes of Tony Abbott and the Murdoch Media 🙄
At what point will we twig that the inquiry most needed is into the extraordinary power and influence the Zionist Lobby is wielding over Australia's mainstream media and cultural and social institutions?
💔🫶
The Govt likes to tell us that the assessment process for mines and other major projects helps ensure health and environmental impacts are avoided or minimised. But what happens when information about serious impacts are deliberately suppressed? That's what's happening with lead mining in NSW 🤬🤯
As the weather warms up, please help keep our wildlife safe. Place a bowl of water outside and don't forget to include a stick long enough for small reptiles and insects to escape 💚☀️
This!! 👏 You can't claim to care about future generations while selling them out
