Australians didn’t vote for more gas exports. They voted for climate action, cost-of-living relief, and a future our kids can look forward to. Approving the North West Shelf Extension is the opposite.

Native forest logging in NSW just posted a $15 mil loss in 6 months. It’s environmentally destructive & economically broken.
Time to stop propping it up with public money & invest in communities to transition to sustainable industries of the future.

As with any bit of communication about the election you should stop and consider the source of what you’re seeing, hearing or reading.

“This is a huge pot of public money being opened up during a cost of living crisis to big gas companies that are already making large profits, pay little to no royalties to the federal government, and absolutely don’t need a taxpayers’ leg up..."

I have a momentous announcement to make. Last week as those who follow me know, @ElonMusk extended to me an invitation unlike any other—the opportunity to join him on a pioneering journey to Mars. After deep reflection and discussions with my family, I have made the life-changing decision to leave behind my career and my home planet to embark on this historic mission. 🙌🏻
This endeavor represents the ultimate convergence of my life’s work and the visionary spirit of exploration that has defined my journey in life. The idea of Shatner City on Mars? It would be great. A new frontier, a new beginning—but you know, if we don’t go soon, it may be too late. These things take people, after all. Will there be enough for the launch if Elon keeps firing them? 😱 That is something we shall find out. 🤞🏻😉
For now, there is much to prepare. The countdown is ticking, and the future awaits.
My Interplanetary Best,
Bill, Future Citizen of Mars

Soft and woolly flannel flowers are some of our favourite natives!
👁️ If you look closely you'll see their button-like centres are actually made up of a cluster of tiny flowers.
Don't miss them at Sydney, Mount Annan and Mount Tomah this spring.

Did you know that the tree waratah's Latin name "Alloxylon flammeum" refers to its fiery flame-like colour? 🔥
Also known as the silky oak, this striking tree from North Queensland sports incredible tubular flowers that appear fused.

even more apposite now:
i hear a lot of people whining that @LiberalAus did nothing about #nuclear energy when they were in power and had a chance.
that’s not fair!
the mcmahon lib gov’t cancelled construction of our first nuclear power station in 1971.
…and john howard banned nuclear power in 1998!

.@AlanKohler nails it:
“the emissions reduction targets of 43% by 2030 and net zero by 2050 are *inadequate* and *unlikely* at the same time.”
“once the PM turns his attention to what’s going on with climate change, he will find that it’s in a mess.”
The Government's climate policies are both inadequate and improbable - ie, a mess.

#energytwitter there’s a real need for someone to write the article now:
“with wholesale electricity prices falling, why is my retailer putting up prices?”
#Electricity prices down almost 60% a year on from #Australia’s short-lived energy crisis
"The rise of #RenewableEnergy, particularly rooftop solar, increasingly nudged out fossil fuels from the grid"
#SolarPower #WindWaterSolar
