Gas Girls, they’re natural, and toxic. Elegantly waving in the wind to passing politicians of all colours. Taunting them to tax them, knowing that they wouldn’t dare. They were mildly amused by @senatormalcolmroberts ‘ guffaws, the unhidden smile of @tanyaplibersek and the joy of Aunty Mcrose Elu. We know @senatorpaulinehanson pretended not to see them, but we know she absolutely did. #TaxGasExports

Breaking News: the ANZ branch in Woden Canberra was overtaken by dinosaurs determined to open bank accounts. Having heard that ANZ invest in extinction and having been part of a successful extinction, the dinos wanted in on a second.

Dinos were met with confusion and security responding with closing the bank, and allowing only one dino to open an account at a time.

Rising Tide activists were everywhere entertaining and informing the crowds. Discobedience discoed to bangers like “Staying Alive”. Security advised that the police weren’t coming, so the climate activists announced that mayhem, disco and ridiculousness would continue for the rest of the afternoon. Security pleaded for the police to attend to manage dying dinos, playful clowns, disco dancers and informative banner holders.

Too many ACT Police arrived. Dino biscuits were offered, and it was generally felt that the police agreed that the ANZ decision to fund the NEA pipeline was a terrible one. Fracking the NT is literally not cool for anyone. These mischief makers will be turning up again until ANZ makes better financial decisions.

$A simple message. That North East Australia pipeline @anz_au want to fund - drop it like it’s hot. It’s a super terrible project fracking the literal life out of the NT. Be better ANZ. Thank you 🙏$

The Independent Planning Commission has given a massive fuck you to everyone that’s not HVO by approving a massive coal mine for the full 19 years ina climate emergency. Glencore and Yancoal need a transition strategy for its workforce. The earth is burning, we’re losing homes, habitat, species and communities but 1,500 jobs were saved…the economic argument is going to start looking a bit shit when farmers can’t grow food, workers can’t do their jobs outside, schools are closed from climate disasters and hospitals filled with smoke and heat impacted patients. Then there’s the repairs and rebuilding of homes and community after the climate disasters. Let’s make sure Glencore and Yancoal pay the bill for their climate damage that they directly cause.

Urggghhh! They’re back again! Going on about a gas exports tax. We’ve put up massive billboards about how great we are and all the corporate tax and helping people with gas stuff. Let’s hope the politicians don’t hear this lot talking about over 70% or 50% gas exports tax, we want 0% so there’s more for the Bolly fund. Profits over people #TaxGasExports

For those championing “high integrity” offsets with the INFM, we’ll celebrate when the Great Koala National Park actually happens. We’ll celebrate when native forests and old growth forests are no longer logged. You can’t trade in nature, it’s not a game. The forests lose again. We hope you’re right that it will end native forest logging, but past behaviour would say you’re not. Thank you to Senators Nick McKim, Vanessa Bleyer and Jordan Steele-John for standing up for real protection of the forests and against Labor’s bullshit INFM and Premier Minns’ endless broken promises. This is Labor, they don’t care about protecting the environment.

Ok friends, you’ve got until midnight tomorrow to make a quick submission on the HVO continuation project. The Independent Planning Commission has asked what the shortest extension period is to transition the workforce. Funnily enough, HVO has responded with they need the full 19 years to be economically viable…they also don’t think the scope 3 emissions should be looked at and just want to tell the Commission to do what they tell them. We can’t have coal for another 19 years. Glencore and Yancoal have had two decades to create an exit strategy for its workforce, the fact they didn’t bother doing their homework because they thought they could get away with it should not be accepted as an excuse. The earth is burning and coal needs to stay in the ground. Transition the workers and close the mine. HVO have had enough time to help their employees they’ve just chosen not to.

🎬 FILM SCREENING: TALLAGANDA – Endangered Greater Gliders on the NSW South Coast
Just a few hours from Canberra, deep in the towering wet eucalypt forests of Tallaganda, lives one of Australia’s most elusive and endangered native species — the Greater Glider. 🌿

An honour to join the historic first meeting since last century to end native forest logging and clearing.

Australia’s national environment and climate groups with regional and grassroots forest organisations met to collaborate on a national campaign to protect native forests by ending native forest logging and clearing.

Former Environment Minister, Honourable Bob Debus, said: “The conservation of the forests is one of the best ways we have to arrest climate change. Strong community support will be the best way to get political action.”

The Australian Conservation Foundation’s President Ros Harvey said: “Native forests stop global warming. By coming together, we’re growing a people-powered movement to protect native forests and cut climate pollution. The public wants to see an end to native forest logging, and by working together, we’ll make it happen.”

Campaigns Director at Bob Brown Foundation, Jenny Weber, said: “Native forest logging and clearing has zero social licence and it must be halted across the nation. We are united in a renewed effort to build resistance to ongoing native forest destruction. Protecting native forests is an immediate solution to ensuring water security and addressing the extinction and climate crises we all face. Nationwide, all native forests need immediate protection without compromise.” Melanie Audrey, The Wilderness Society Biodiversity Policy Campaign Manager said: “With government failing to protect our forests, conservation organisations and grassroots groups are coming together to demand a national approach – because protecting Australia’s forests can’t be left to communities to fight one forest at a time.” Photo credit: Hillary Wardaugh
