Senator Lana Theis accused me by name of grooming and sexualizing children in an attempt to marginalize me for standing up against her marginalizing the LGBTQ community...in a fundraising email, for herself.
Hate wins when people like me stand by and let it happen. I won't.

Residents in Alice Springs would like a service to recycle, but there is not an easy solution to implement it. @JimmyCocking @8CCCradio

This is big. The UK government is being sued for relying on speculative negative-emissions technologies to achieve its climate pledges. We need this in every country, to push governments to take real steps to cut emissions, fast. theguardian.com/environment/…

My post from last night on the two vote victory in the election for Alice Springs Mayor. The surprise result plus ensuing re-count issues show why candidates should know count rules and why scrutineering is so important. antonygreen.com.au/alice-spr… #auspol #ntpol

Chief Minister @fanniebay says the mining sector is “our biggest employer”.... data put together by @TheAusInstitute says this is way off...

“Research from QUT shows that 'some kind of a disinformation campaign' is pushing the Twitter hashtag #ArsonEmergency. There is no arson emergency.”
This is highly concerning - anti-climate campaign. Who would pay for this? We need to figure it out. zdnet.com/article/twitter-bo…

The jigsaw pieces are starting to fit together. Organised bot attacks pushing hazard reduction lies, AstroTurf volunteer firefighters associations, far-right talking points pushed into the mainstream ... Australia is suffering a proper disinformation attack.

100 days is a great target for our government to accept the scale of the threat that Australia faces from climate, set up a Department of Climate Emergency Mobilisation and coordinate decarbonising our economy in 10 years. @ScottMorrisonMP @AlboMP
Agreed @eytanlenko & @mcannonbrookes - let’s go!
And there’s Australian precedent. In Dec 1941, John Curtin committed to “the revolutionising of the Australian way of life until a war footing is attained quickly, efficiently and without question”. Here:

And @russellcrowe sums up Australia’s climate policies succinctly, crisply and honestly. The way no politician can seem to.
“Fuck that bullshit.”
Indeed 🌱
Time we put every Australian politicians feet to the fire ( intended ) & get serious about climate change and our future.
When the fire season passes they’ll assure you it wasn’t as bad as you remember.
9 million acres and counting says fuck that bullshit.
