Students demand climate action in lead-up to COP31
**Lucy Millett** argues that it has become clear that federal Labor’s net-zero deadlines mean nothing, despite its promises to act on the climate emergency. She is urging organisations to support the pre-COP31 rally.

"he came straight out of the blocks with over-the-top rhetoric...and a strident left-wing economic agenda." Shoebridge is labelled "over-the-top", "strident" and "radical" because he's a challenge to the cosy toxic centrist neoliberal consensus of Australia's political and media class. #auspol

Only once has Australia achieved these four outcomes: inflation, the jobless and interest rates below 4.6%, and GDP growth above 2.0%. That was in the fiscal year ended in June 2026. By falsifying their reports on the economy Australia’s newsrooms are the main cause of collapsing social cohesion.
