🚨 dutton & albo have joined forces 🚨 instead of winning your vote by being less 💩, they're rigging the game. …by giving themselves: • $140m in taxpayer $$$ • higher spending cap than indies they think this will kill the independent movement. 👇donate & prove them wrong👇

More people need to talk about how fucking pathetic the National Adaptation Plan is.

Between the approval of North West Shelf, the release of yesterday's WILDLY inadequate National Adaptation Plan, the important and drastic National Climate Risk Assessment, and the certain announcement of a pissweak 2035 climate target, this is a fucked week to be an Australian climate advocate.

“[hastie] has picked a hell of a day to say he will die on the hill of net zero… millions of australians were just warned about the potentially catastrophic impacts of climate change and he is saying to them ‘i don’t give a stuff’.” 🍿 www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

smh.com.auHastie threatens to quit frontbench, issues net zero ultimatum to LeyAndrew Hastie’s opposition to net zero emissions is well known, but his provocative comments about quitting the frontbench are a fresh test of Opposition Leader Sussan Ley’s authority.

trump planning to take his DOGE axe to the regulation of nuclear power. some see this as a path to speeding up nuclear, but it could spectacularly backfire — as we’ve seen in australia, politicisation of nuclear is very bad for the technology. US currently enjoys nuclear bipartisanship.

Never let Tim Wilson forget. We know he was shortlisted with #AtlasNetwork’s IPA for the Network’s biggest international prize for wrecking the carbon price. That mechanism was working to reduce emissions. Don’t put Atlas operators in parliament. theaimn.net/tim-wilson-s... #Goldstein #auspol

Did you know that nuclear power will switch off solar in 4 million Australian homes? Power bills for solar homes will go up more than $1,100, and an average of $665 a year for non-solar homes. Help me spread the word - Solar Saves, Nuclear Costs. www.doubleunderdutton.com.au

#DavidLittleproud claims #collie voted for coalition at state election & therefore loves nuclear. 🙄 however, WA liberal party opposes nuclear power for WA! ☢️ the collie vote reflected attitudes on gun laws! 🔫 #PeterDutton went there once, dodged the community and hasn’t been back! 🐔

If they can't face constituents and debate their opposition or answer questions they don't deserve to represent them..

how it started… how it’s going… two elections in a row, the liberal candidate has been a last minute no-show for the #kooyong climate forum. too afraid to address the community in the town hall where sir robert menzies once proudly stood.
