Under Labor we have seen wages flat line, the rise of the far right and record war profits from fossil fuels going untaxed. We think these are ‘somewhat concerning’.

A huge congratulations is in order for the crew at Save Perth Hills who have campaigned tirelessly since 1991 against Satterley's plan that would have seen 535 ha of land cleared. This decision means 60,000 trees, predominantly 100 to 200 year old jarrahs and marris will remain standing.

It's alarming that at least half of the thinned timber is being burnt straight away, releasing carbon into the atmosphere and contributing to climate change, increasing water and heat stress on the very forests thinning is supposed to protect.

Israel is razing Gaza, killing Palestinians and openly discussing mass removal from their land. And still, the Australian Government offers condemnation without consequences. Enough. Israel has crossed every red line, Australia must stop enabling its crimes.
