"If you’re passionate about the environment, you’re going to want to check out Kasimir Burgess’ spectacular film Franklin. The flick traces the battle to protect Tassie’s staggeringly beautiful natural Franklin River during the ‘80s." - Time Out ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

NEW REPORT: From voting rights to the eight-hour workday, the right to protest has been fundamental to our democracy.
Our new report "Protest in Peril" shows evidence that the right to protest has steadily eroded in Australia over 20 years.

Today I joined democracy & human rights orgs to help launch @humanrightsHRLC new report 'Protest in Peril'.
Peaceful protest helped achieve many things we now take for granted and is a critical part of democracy.
We must protect the right to protest.

On the inaugural National Day of Protest Rights, we celebrate with Australian Democracy Network, @humanrightsHRLC, @amnestyOz and over 130 supporting orgs. To help protect this fundamental human right, join them in endorsing the ADN's declaration: acf.to/4byu6SW

we’ve just had the hottest July in 120,000 years. ocean temperatures are at a record high.
these are records being broken in my 19th year of life. how many more do i have to see throughout my lifetime?
politicians have a duty of care to protect my generation from climate change.
