Dutton’s scheme has a gaping hole at its heart. Seven standard nuclear reactors would generate approximately 9GW of energy. AEMO’s latest planning indicates Australia will need at least 300 GW by 2050. Where will the rest of the power come from? Brain fart not a policy. #Auspol

Continuing is lock down is devastating - but there is no alternative. I’m really proud the Vic government has the courage to look to the medium to long term and not cave to the immense pressure to open too quickly. @DanielAndrewsMP showing real leadership. #melbournelockdown

I can't #March4Justice in person today because my 35 week pregnant body is not feeling up to it. I'm there in spirit and it is awesome to see the photos of women filling the streets to say #EnoughIsEnough

Committing to net zero without a policy to actually reduce emissions, is like committing to lose weight without eating any less junk food. This is a joke.

It's totally fine to just adapt to a different climate. Sure the ocean will support vastly less life; the Murray Darling will dry out; our major cities will hit 50 degrees and all our major forests on the east coast may burn down - but at least we can still hug lumps of coal.

Fire Cheif Greg Mullins: In the past "Australia always did the right thing." Are we going to do the right thing now by our kids, or are we going to just throw up our hands and keep making the problem worse and worse. #bushfires #ClimateCrisis

Fmr Commissioner of Fire & Rescue NSW Greg Mullins explains why Australia must act on climate change. We are in the top 20 emitters in the world, and that doesn’t include our massive fossil fuel exports. Australia is a very big player. #auspol @ScottMorrisonMP

Failing to reduce pollution means accepting substantial global temp rise, worsening heatwaves, fires and floods, and endangering the Great Barrier Reef. Where is the government's plan to protect people from these impacts if they are refusing to credibly reduce pollution? #NEG

During a war PM wouldn't be fighting the enemy or directing battle operations. But you'd hope they would be providing leadership for the country and ensuring that the army had the resources it needed. The idea that the PM is not needed during a national crisis is nuts #auspol

Transport is our 3rd largest source of greenhouse gas pollution and major health burden (about 1,700 deaths every year - larger than the national road toll). ALP's 50% EV policy is a really important step forward! #auspol

Pacific nations urge climate change action, ask Australia for help

Delegates from Kiribati, Tuvalu and Papua New Guinea are in Canberra urging politicians to cut carbon emissions and to help them tackle climate change in their countries.

@mcannonbrookes @mcannonbrookes No meeting has been had. Greg and his colleagues have been desperately worried about this summer. They have repeatedly written asking for a meeting with the PM, they have put ads in the paper and done endless media. Devastatingly their fears are being realised.
