Murujuga traditional custodians are calling on the federal government to immediately release the conditions attached to its 40-year extension of Woodside's North West Shelf gas project and want @MurrayWatt to visit their Country. Is that too much to ask?

It's hard to believe @AustralianSuper could reinvest in @WhitehavenCoal to become its biggest backer. And yet. thenewdaily.com.au/finance/2…

Today @AustralianSuper has woken up to a strong warning in the @smh — as leading climate, nature and public policy organisations urge the fund to put its members first and stop backing Whitehaven’s new coal mines.

What @AustralianSuper doesn’t want you to know: it’s the #1 shareholder in @WhitehavenCoal, a company with the biggest coal expansion plans in Australia. 🙃
But this means AustralianSuper has influence. Let’s make the fund use it. 👉 australiansuperpolluter.com/

This is huge. In a landmark ruling, the High Court has found planning authorities are required to consider the emissions caused by burning fossil fuels overseas – not just emissions from mining coal, oil and gas – when approving projects. #auspol abc.net.au/news/2026-10-07/m…

You can see why the major parties voted against a Duty of Care to young people and future generations.
Climate scientists and the International Energy Agency are clear - we have enough coal and gas for the transition and cannot keep expanding them without damaging the people and places we love.
This is tragically short sighted and we’ll pay the price in the future. We can do better here in 🇦🇺 and push for more global action.
