Great to see @ABCaustralia being transparent about its 10 year outlook. To this list, I would add two broad global themes thatABC can help the country navigate: Climate and Australia's place in a geo-political/cultural adjustment away from US dominance. abc.net.au/news/backstory/20…

The Hon. Chris Bowen MP, Minister for Climate Change and Energy, will give our Summit Day 2 keynote. 17 June.
This will be the incoming Minister’s first major speech and an important signal of the new government’s priorities implementing their expansive climate agenda.

Strong piece of reporting by the ABC on a serious topic.

To be clear, Woodside has not ticked off all its regulatory hurdles to proceed with Scarborough. It still needs 4 Environmental Approvals from the federal regulator NOPSEMA, & a legal challenge to a state approval pending from @ConservationWA abc.net.au/news/2022-04-07/w…

Three of the most important investors in Australia released #ClimateAction case studies today.
Congrats to @unisuperfund @IFM_Investors and @AwareSuper
Their leadership and transparency will help more big investors get to net zero portfolios.

When was the last time you got to hear Toto’s Africa outside Karaoke or a wedding on good speakers?
Holds up.

Canaries? AllCanaries?
Anyway… this is interesting.

Great gig for a talented #PR who's keen to align their job with their values.
The @market_forces team are innovative and effective.
They've helped get climate into the conversation for banking and finance.
@CommsDeclare might know someone?

Today is #CleanEnergyOpenDay and we are so excited! Returning for the fourth year running, four projects across Australia are swinging open their gates to the public for a day of family-fun and informative activities. ow.ly/TxHl50Gx5uc
McKinsey did some ‘modelling’ behind LNP’s net zero ‘plan’. Meanwhile EY works for @appealtd (coal industry).
A lot of young, high margin consultants would be very disturbed by their employers’ clients.

bit of intra-party squabbling in #SenateEstimates today. "“I love this committee” on a hot mic. 😜
Surely against the wishes of the Australian people; The Future Fund's supposed beneficiaries?

Climate change is a social justice issue; it creates inequality and disproportionately impacts people experiencing disadvantage. We must act now to reduce emissions and ensure a just and fair transition to a zero emission society. 2050 is too late. #FairFastClimateAction @ACOSS
Very useful backgrounder. 👇
(I’m still left wondering though: what was the motivation? Just a favour to a beau? Really!?)
