Yeesh, reckon a few of my habitual surface lexicon may be sweary words.

Yup. Our signature climate policy is designed to #safeguard fossil fuels and #greenwash #offsets.
Upside it's coming up for review.
Can we fix it...? Depends on #political will to stand up to fossil fuel lobby
#auspol
Help the kelp.
Here in #Tasmania we've lost an estimated 98% of our #kelp #forests due to warming oceans from climate change.
Every bit of #fossilfuel burnt is causing such #ecological collapse
@browne90.bsky.social lays out how Libs and Nats recommended preferences for the far-right One Nation ahead of Independent Milthorpe, a move criticised by more moderate Liberals.

Help demand a meeting with the PM and Foreign Minister for those aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla!
Call Anthony Albanese on (02) 6277 7700 and Penny Wong on (02) 6277 7500 to ask why they haven't met with the Aussies from the Global Sumud Flotilla, despite horrific abuse by the Israeli military.

I wonder if Richard Marles, who’s in the UK, will take time to tour a Royal Navy nuclear attack submarine. The opportunity is there - because none of them are able to go to sea 🤦♂️. #OurSubmarinePartner #AUKUS #auspol

A government that abandons people in need of support due to apparent budget pressures but is prepared to spend well over $360 billion for a dud submarine deal and defence pact, is a government that does not deserve your vote.
