Imagine explaining this to people in 2045. "We knew the climate was breaking down, but we approved another 429 million tonnes of coal because shutting the mine was politically difficult." That's essentially the fucking decision Australia just made in the Hunter Valley. #auspol

We need more articles in defence of the massive, positive contribution immigration has made to Australia. A contribution that will become all the more essential over this & coming decades. Our prosperity, diversity, hopefully tolerance & humanity all boosted by people settling here. Reject racism
