BREAKING: We have re-established control of access to our Country leading to the Adani Carmichael Coal Mine site to enforce protection of our home lands. We will remain on Country to enforce the eviction notice that we issued to @AdaniOnline week #StandingOurGround #EvictAdani
There are over 51,000 proposed renewables jobs in QLD! Let's make it a reality!! -> bit.ly/RenewableJobsQLD
Last night, Brisbane vols went to the @Qldcommalliance Discernment Assembly and heard powerful stories about climate justice, job security, and the importance of connected communities, and we're stoked to collab with @democracycolour - aren't we cute together!

We can’t solve a crisis without treating it as a crisis and we must unite behind experts and science.
This of course goes for all crises.
Now the experts urge us to avoid big public gatherings for a better chance to #flattenthecurve and slow the spreading of the Coronavirus. 1/4
I was only just born, but humanity had known about climate change for over 20 years, there were climate deniers, and our atmospheric CO2 levels were ~43ppm fewer. Think about how far we've come💁

This morning we met with @MarkFurnerMP about our New Jobs Plan for QLD. We discussed how building publically owned renewables will benefit regional Queenslanders. Mark was very supportive of our campaign, and committed to discuss the pledge with his colleagues. Thank you!! ☀️
Wow, the only supposed pro of natural gas isn't even true! Perhaps we shouldn't put more methane into the air and stop fracking after all... #frackoff #dontfracktheNT

Unless your climate policy, commitment, philanthropy or plan includes drastic emission cuts at the source starting today, in line with the 1,5° CO2 budget, it will be completely insufficient.

In Germany, trade unions, energy companies, green groups and government have all agreed that the coal industry must go. And they've already quit brown coal without sacking a single worker. There's no reason Australia can't do this too #StopAdani

In wake of recent weather events, Australians are talking more about climate change. Here's what we'd think if Australia were 100 people #ClimateEmergency
ALT Image reads: Seventy-two of us rate climate change as a problem for us personally. It's the problem facing the largest number of us personally, above saving retirement (62 concerned) and health (56 concerned)
ALT Image reads: a whopping 83 of us would like to see Australia rely more on solar power, while 68 would like to see more wind and 62 more hydro power.
ALT Image reads: Support for more coal is low overall but gets a boost in regional and rural Queensland.
ALT Image reads: And while the Coalition may have picked up support there through its backing of the Adani mine, those areas still tend to favour boosting renewables more strongly than extra coal.

Our friends at @EDOQldLaw are under attack from the Minerals Council, who are calling for their funding to be scrapped. Help them out if you have the chance.

Many farmers have been forced by Adani to sign most farmers relying on the water in the great artieian basin are not protected. We demand Adani's destruction must be stopped. Bruce Currie - Farmer #StopAdani
