#Salvos are a fundraising organisation & l’ll not give them another cent. 6 pages of name-customised colour print, even after multiple calls to tell them not to contact me. A wicked waste of money. 30% of funds raised in Red Shield Appeal goes on this rubbish. Gone to sh*t. #waste #Austpol

It speaks volumes to the extent lobbyists and fossil-fuel media have stifled climate-sensible policy. Lack of political will to decarbonise in face of latest oil crisis ought to be a crime.

In good news, Trump has blatantly stated that they're just invading Iran to get the oil. Can we now, #auspol, soundly condemn the action and maybe get on the same page as Spain? Maybe an easier way to look at this is if it's wrong when Russia does it, it's also wrong when the USA and Israel do it.
