Lennon in Winter #TasLabor puts profit over planet by supporting fish farms in Macquarie Harbour knowing he’s sending Maugean skate to extinction. But if there are jobs in species extinction, he’s right onto it. #Logging #SwiftParrot #OrangeBelliedParrot #RobbinsIs #politas

The marine world is being destroyed in Scotland and everywhere else Salmon farming takes place. But don’t worry, because some people will be better off financially and that’s all that matters.

Appalling. so cruel. so fucked up. if not now, when? how much longer will the Albanese government keep people living in poverty? Absolutely indefensible. Poverty is a political choice. I don’t want to hear @AlboMP talk about his log cabin story anymore. raise the damn rate now!

It's quite something that the world's top scientists put out a synthesis report that essentially says civilization as we know it will end unless the world comes together to stop rapidly expanding the fossil fuel industry but to instead rapidly end it, and almost no one cares

It's been 1 month since #Hindenburg accused coal giant #Adani of the "largest con in corporate history". How are things looking for Adani? Ahem... Here’s a round up of bad news rocking Adani’s land-grabbing, climate-wrecking, ecosystem-destroying coal empire this week. 🧵

I urge everyone to ring their Super Fund to establish how much they have. Very few people have $2m. Check it out: you will not be affected by proposed changes. #LNP are speaking for Uber rich, not middle Australia. #LNP are lying again. It is franking credits Mark 2. #auspol
