On so many issues (climate, human rights, Palestine) Labor is now right wing. The irrelevant Liberals & Nationals are reps for the fossil fuels & mining industries. Pauline Hanson's One Nation serves Gina Rinehart. The Greens (and some Independents) represent the interests of Australia. #auspol

Floods don’t ask for your passport. Droughts don’t care about your politics. Heatwaves don’t check your race or income. Climate change is the definition of a global crisis. It will only be solved by global leadership that puts people and planet above short-term politics. Let’s demand it.

When farms stop yielding, hunger does not knock — it breaks the door. Across the Horn of Africa, soils that once fed nations are turning barren. This is not “bad weather.” This is climate change rewriting our food systems in real time.

What happens to Australian politicians, public servants and the military when they arrive in the USA? They lose all sense of Australian sovereignty and acquiesce to US hegemony at the expense of our safety. We need real leadership not sycophantic capitulation.

Australia's largest contribution to the climate crisis - by some distance - is our production and export of coal and gas. While there are other things that are important as well if you forget to fight this, what are you fighting for? See here: naruresearch.com.au/australias-t...

New climate data and risk modelling suggest global heating is accelerating far faster than expected, with catastrophic consequences unless fossil fuel use is rapidly reduced.
