The govt collects more money from HECS than it does from the PRRT. Australians are missing out on revenue for public services while fossil fuel companies make record profits. We need to increase the PRRT #auspol @TheAusInstitute

Coal, oil and gas companies – including @SantosLtd and @WoodsideEnergy – gave over $1.78 MILLION to Australia's political parties last year. Surprising no-one, these donations occurred right as the government chose to approve new fossil fuel projects. reneweconomy.com.au/millions…

Millions in fossil fuel money rained on major political parties last year

Santos, Woodside, Adani and Gina Rinehart feature among donors to major political parties in 2023.

In Norway they tax the fossil fuel industry and kids go to university for free. In Australia we subsidise the fossil fuel industry and charge our kids to go to university. We raise more from HECS than petroleum resources rent tax. Richard Denniss #auspol #NPC

Can anyone fathom why the Govt is baulking at introducing a fuel efficiency standard? It means we are paying significantly more to do trips & creating more pollution Currently Australia & Russia are the only 2 developed nations without one #auspol theguardian.com/environment/…

Promising to "transition away" from fossil fuels in the face of the climate crisis is like being diagnosed with diabetes and promising your doctor you'll "transition away" from donuts.
Damian Carrington@dpcarrington13 Dec 2023
#COP28 My take: The #ClimateCrisis crisis is driven by fossil fuels, which the industry is phasing *UP* Is "transition away" a strong enough signal to change that anytime soon? Not in my opinion But the citing of fossil fuels is historic. It's a tragedy it has taken 30 years

This is the only summary you need to read of #COP28. The one that’s grounded in earth systems science. And does not care about pledges or ambiguous promises. @TheAusInstitute @MCFunimelb @climatecouncil @ClimateRealityA @impactxtech
Johan Rockström@jrockstrom13 Dec 2023
And there is no convincing plan on how to transition away from fossil-fuels. National voluntary action alone will not do it. Collective, global action, on finance, carbon pricing, and technology exchange are also needed, at a scale vastly exceeding what is now on the table (4/4).
