👇 ad put in both Fiji newspapers by the Australian Conservation Foundation. A concise summary of #auspol climate policy. #climatechange #australia
To our Pacific Island neighbours:

WE’RE SORRY. 

Australia knows that new coal mines threaten your future. But last week we approved a huge new coal mine expansion anyway. 

The Hunter Valley Operations coal project now has approval to operate to 2045 and generate 809 million tons of climate pollution. 

Australia Institute research shows That no new coal or gas projects are compatible with limiting warming to 1.5°C. As the world transitions away from fossil fuels, AUSTRALIA is approving. New coal and gas.

This is a betrayal.

Below the headline, the publication date is listed as 4 Oct 2026, categorized under a green "Allergy & Immunology" tag.
The main body of the image features a photograph of a woman with dark curly hair sitting indoors and blowing her nose into a white tissue. She is wearing a light blue denim jacket, looking down with her eyes closed, and appears to be suffering from allergy or cold symptoms. The background is a softly blurred room with muted curtains and a green houseplant.
