Big Ag's Routes to influence at COP 28. These are the spines for MLA, however they go much further than what is illustrated.
Meat & Livestock Australia Australian marketing and research organisation for the meat industry Meat & Livestock Australia is a marketing and research body for the Australian red meat and livestock industry. It is funded through levies paid on all livestock sales, as well as by the Australian government and through voluntary contributions from industry partners. Livestock accounts for over 14 percent of global emissions. The NGO Changing Markets Foundation has linked MLA to the meat and dairy industry's promotion of a new highly controversial metric for calculating warming from emissions, known as GWP*, which would allow the meat and dairy industry to slash their on paper emissions or even claim to be climate-neutral or climate-positive while emitting huge amounts of methane. The group also pushed for liberalisation of the UK meat import market following Brexit, according to Friends of the Earth. Big meat companies and lobby groups are planning a large presence at COP28. A communications document for sector groups, produced by the industry-funded Global Meat Alliance and viewed by DeSmog, states that Meat & Livestock Australia is amongst the industry groups attending. It expects to receive a number of passes as part of the Australian government delegation, giving it privileged access to all negotiations.

@adriantomlinson.bsky.social might you know what they're spraying with?
Obviously with #buffelgrass, it's something hardcore. I'm guessing it's roundup aka #glyphosate.
I have *issues* with glyphosate ⬇️

@adriantomlinson.bsky.social not to be outdone, lets just go through this pack of lobbyists in the ALT tags.
Basically what we're looking here is the octopus tentacles of Meat & Livestock Australia, which they all roll into to do the same kind of right wing lobbying.

Shall we play the game @adriantomlinson.bsky.social of how many top global land holding billionaire lobbyists are featured in the ABC's "authoritative coverage"?

Thanks to the Central Desert Regional Council for allowing us to present about the Draft NT #buffelgrass Management Plan at their Ordinary Meeting in TiTree this morning.

This plan will decide our fate for the next decade!
Stay cool in the Yeperenye Shopping Centre and chat about the NT #buffelgrass weed management plan (we can provide the facts, give our opinion and you can decide for yourself what you would like to say!).
Malcolm represents!

Inland Australia is collapsing from #buffelgrass invasion and the intense, frequent fires it fuels
Buffel springs back after the fires (this is 19 days post fire) - it is known in Pitjantjatjara as mamu tjanpi (devil’s grass)
Governments are still encouraging pastoralists to plant it - devils.
Our administrator’s report on the health impacts of buffel grass invasion in central Australia is done! #buffelgrass

Buffel grass is massively impacting tourism (and everything else) on the Larapinta trail in Central Australia. Great to read about this.
