I’ve written for The Point today on the failure of the major parties to protect their citizens in lieu of the gambling industry’s vested interests…. 👇 thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...
thepoint.com.au
The Government had one job: to protect its citizens. The new online gambling laws fail to do just that.
The Prime Minister and the Leader of the Coalition have not just failed to protect Australian citizens, they have failed the clear moral test to simply do the right thing.

Brace for impacts. My cartoon in today's @theageaustralia.bsky.social and @sydmorningherald.bsky.social
An editorial cartoon by Megan Herbert that depicts a super ute (brand: RAM IT THROUGH), in the tray compartment of which sits and Australian family, an indigenous elder, a kangaroo, a koala with baby, and a sea turtle, all wearing crash test dummy stickers on various parts of their bodies and heads. Leaning out of the cabin's windows are passenger PM Anthony Albanese, who is waving a flag saying "Environment Protection Reform Bill", and driver MP Murray Watt, also adorned with crash test dummy insignia. A sign on the side of the ute reads: "DESIGNED BY INDUSTRY, POWERED BY FOSSIL FUELS". The ute is revving, exhaust fumes pluming from the rear, in readiness to be driven at speed headlong into a wall in a crash test facility, on which is written, in emergency colours, CLIMATE CHANGE. Murray Watt cheerfully invites Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young and Coalition leader Sussan Ley to "Hop in!" Senator Hanson-Young, walking away with arms crossed, says, "No thanks." MP Ley, smiling, hand on hip, and ready to negotiate, says, "Only if you lose the seat belts, airbags and cut the brakes."

62% is a climate disaster. This is a plan for more climate disasters, more job losses & more homes destroyed. The Government has failed. Instead of being ambitious and bold, they have cowered to the fossil fuel industry. It’s a fake target, more about politics than science or the environment.

Australia now has a global responsibility to protect it from damage, including Woodside’s polluting North West Shelf gas plant. Labor has a choose. Heritage & nature, or Woodside toxic profits.

As the “weather bomb” hits the NSW coast today, my thoughts are with everyone preparing for yet another extreme weather event. Stay safe everyone. And follow the emergency services advice. Climate change is fuelling these events as they occur more often and become more dangerous.

US authorities shooting an Aussie journalist is shocking, unacceptable and must be called out. The Prime Minister must seek an urgent explanation and tell President Trump to stop his cops shooting at our journalists. Freedom of the press is a fundamental pillar of a strong, functioning democracy.

The final act of the last parliament was to gut Australia’s environment laws. The first act from the new government is to trash climate credibility, with Woodside’s huge pollution bomb. The Enviro minister has failed at the first hurdle. Trashing the environment, not protecting it.

If starving and bombing children to death doesn’t warrant sanctions what will? For 19 months children have born the brunt of the war in Gaza. It is a war on children. There is no excuse for the brutality being inflicted on the innocent lives of Palestinian children & families. It must end 💔
