Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK.
Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy.

Thanks
Senator Faruqi's 🧵 helps explain how we got to a point where a citizen's petition is needed to get authorities to investigate anti-Islamic acts from a self-declared "far-right" lowlife who threatened children, barged into a community hall, threw punches & abused people
Rally for scrap AUKUS

Sydney Town Hall.
The Review of the Net Zero Economy Authority’s Energy Industry Jobs Plan has been tabled in Parliament.
It calls for the Fed gov to "determine the best model to deliver transition supports to workers in closing coal mines (incl those that sell coal to the export market)."
We welcome the report.
There's been a lot of handwringing in auspol lately about Hanson gaining support when Labor is disappointing.
Seeing Robodebt corruption excused and Australia dragged into another USA war is probably going blow up that support more.
So shameful & gutless @albomp.bsky.social
We shouldn’t be involved in any USA-instigated wars - ever again
We should be calling out their illegality & terror
Years ago, I worked in the public service and often had recent migrants admire our public service compared to corrupt, inefficient ones in other nations. Sad that's changed.
This alone is a good reason to exit #AUKUS
Curse Albo for this.
Of all the things they could have done with their landslide win.
Congratulations to all the wildlife carers who advocated for this.
Will save lives of native lizards and birds, especially owls.
I've known two people with disabilities, who were simply given jobs in the old CES when the CES couldn't find other employers willing to give them a go.
Doubt that happens now
Wildlife cameras have snapped rare pictures of blond echidnas, tiny marsupials, and threatened seabirds on a small island off Tasmania's north coast.
Indigenous rangers and scientists say the finds are a huge win for island conservation. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

#auspol i want my taxes paying for this!
Sets a very bad standard for tolerance of corruption in the public service.
This is so true. It’s also beyond enraging that a bloc with *more power* than fossil fuels does exist and could be mobilised. The companies that have to deal with climate impacts and volatile fossil fuel prices far outnumber the fossil fuel majors, they have just never lobbied as effectively.
Australia isn't listed in the worst affected countries here, but I'd be surprised if extreme heat isn't already limiting viable outdoor work hours in northern states, and summer heatwaves.

Three years ago, Albo received a report of the link between the climate crisis and national security threats.
It's still not been made available to the public. #auspol
"quietly" means complicit.
The government is taking us into an illegal undeclared war, and deeper into the crazed orbit of the fascist Trump regime.
But Labor MPs are even worse than US Republicans.
At least some GOP Congress reps are standing up to the Sundowning Stalin. #auspol
It is morally abhorrent to support the US and Israel's imperial aggression.
We urge organisations across civil society to join us in demanding that the government cease its support for war, and to do its job by ensuring that everyone struggling with high living costs has their needs met.

If you want to beat them, figure out how to organize a bloc of economic actors whose material interests are served by the transition. Organize a bloc with *more power* and then *defeat* them. That's how this works. You're not going to fucking seduce them with your clever verbiage!
Quick addendum on this: the one part of the left that truly understood power was ... unions. Union organizers were never under the illusion that they could sweet-talk concessions from bosses with the right framing. They dealt in power.
That's why the right killed them.
I don't want to do a whole long rant on this, so I'll just say: the reason fossil fuels & other aligned incumbents don't want to transition to clean energy is that it will *damage their material interests*. And folks, they understand their own material interests. Really well!
In a space of 4 months in 2021, OZ lost half its oil refineries. Did anyone argue to keep them open? Who was Energy Minister at the time? www.abc.net.au/news/2021-02...
It’s money over safety and their only response if to kill the dingoes. Cap visitor numbers and leave the dogs alone.
Gina Rinehart is Hanson's donor.
Does this mean even mining magnates realise they're losing the culture wars on climate denial vs. climate protest and battlers vs billionaires?
Hanson votes against climate protection, so it's a pretty cynical co-option of green messaging to divert backlash votes
For decades when people dismissed environmentalists as inner city latte sippers, we'd warn them that regional areas and agriculture will be hit hard by climate change.
Now Hanson is saying it, and backing a tax on mining companies, a tax first flagged by the Greens.
Greenwashing replaces denial
