Given how close the game was, perhaps Freo would have won the grand final if all the players weren't weighed down by that big heavy Woodside logo on their chest.

Our industrial pollution law (The Safeguard Mechanism) is being reviewed! A submission takes minutes but can make a world of difference. Tell the government by midnight Friday 18 September: Cap the offsets, and keep them out of reach for coal, oil and gas. 👉 bushfiresurvivors.org/safeguard

Hottest winter on record. Snow season closing weeks early. Records broken in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra. And spring's shaping up even hotter. This is what climate pollution from coal, oil and gas looks like for our alpine regions, but it's not too late to change course.

This morning, I have a new report out with Climate Integrity on the way that the Fuel Tax Credit regime undermines any possible utility that the Safeguard Mechanism might have. Because of this, major miners pay an effective carbon price as low as -$100 per tonne or more. You can read it here:
