"Government hypocrisy in maintaining the charade of Australia as a global climate leader is beyond belief, particularly its insistence that Australia is doing its utmost to assist 'Our Pacific Family'" #ClimateCrisis #auspol pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/10...

Australia’s climate policy – a crime against humanity

Australia cannot credibly claim climate leadership while expanding coal and gas exports that accelerate global heating, deepen Pacific vulnerability and lock in further human suffering.

One in six kids in poverty. Increasing housing stress. Fossil-fueled climate policy. Our closest alliance with the fascist US. Enabling the #GazaGenocide. Policy written by corporate donors. If this is what the “centre” delivers, “sensible” it is not. #auspol podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/7...

As the Coalition veers right, should Albo hold the centre?

Of course they should, this was debated well over 100 years ago when steam and coal started to become redundant due to combustion engines and electricity replacing the burning of coal. This "pea-soup" pollution gave birth to environmental activism. www.historyisnowmagazine.com/blog/2022/8/...

This policy is not earning Australians trust for Labor politicians, as they continue to drink from the same corporate trough as their conservative opponents and far right craven operators, paid for by billionaires. The cost of AUKUS would build a fast rail service from Melbourne to Brisbane.

A perfect analogy of Australia's position on our environment. There's equivalent to 10 Hiroshima atom bombs going off in the Pacific every second and these entitled pricks carry on as if there's nothing to see here. They won't even demand foreigners pay appropriate royalties so as to mitigate.

Australia's 'sensible centre' is shifting radically to the right

Australia has a new political centre, but just because it falls in the middle of two policies, that doesn’t make it good policy.
