How much coal would the French have to find under the Louvre to destroy it? How much gas would the UK need to find under Stonehenge to knock it down? Australia must be the richest country in the world willing to destroy its ancient heritage for one more gas project #climate

Under the cover of the on-again/off-again Coalition drama, Labor is gearing up to approve an absolutely catastrophic gas project. Woodside’s North West Shelf is an untapped climate bomb. This approval would mean supercharged floods, fires and species extinctions.

These are genocidal acts and war crimes. Fixating on whether 14,000 babies starve in 48 hours or over months is a distraction — a deliberate one — from the horrifying truth: the evidence is overwhelming, and the killing, bombing and strategic starvation is ongoing.

Tragic to see the flooding across NSW. As these disasters get more common and more severe, we should make fossil fuel exporters pay a climate disaster levy. So that those causing the damage pay for the clean-up, not ordinary Australians. Add your name > theaus.in/fossilfuelco...

A real leader leads even when chips are down & does not wait for a woman to do the hard yards before pushing her to the side to take charge. Very weak by Andrew Hastie who clearly has an issue being lead by a woman. He doesn’t think they’re good enough for combat, or to lead.
