Happy #EarthDay ! This is what’s needed to stay below 1,5°C of warming. Note that this doesn’t include the aspect of equity, feedback loops or additional warming hidden by toxic air pollution. Sorry to bother but it’s time to act.

People overestimate the influence of the media on voters. But ranting and plainly biased advocacy is even less successful.

Barrie says the government's emissions figures say they're going up. Angus Taylor insists they're going down. These are the figures. What do you think? #auspol #insiders

Heads up - I’m deleting a tweet about astroturfing bc I want to make sure details are solid. Dark $ is hard to track, & the practice of astroturfing to manipulate public opinion is notorious. Want to make sure any comments about it are thorough. Quote tweet will be RT’d ✌🏽

Union members gave all Australians: superannuation, minimum wages, health & safety protections, the weekend, public holidays, Medicare...I could go on. In fact we invented the "fair go". We should be 100% proud of the achievements, plus the day to day standing up for ppl
