It’s difficult to escape the conclusion that the ⁦Anthony Albanese⁩ Federal Government for the most part pays lip service to environment protection. Granted they aren’t quite as bad as the , but it’s mainly talk and not a lot of action 🌏🔥🙈🙉🙊 abc.net.au/news/2024-04-1…

MP protecting our precious waterbirds banned from wetlands while Victoria’s so called progressive Premier ⁦Jacinta Allan⁩ enables the troglodytes who kill and maim our wildlife in the name of “sport” abc.net.au/news/2024-04-1…

We are seeing repeated examples of ⁦Peter Dutton⁩ coming out with headline seeking thought bubbles with little or no thought given to context or consequences.

Government is a serious responsibility and is not a place for loose cannons.

Anyone with a moral compass would disagree that duck and quail “hunting” is a “legitimate recreational activity” Jacinta Allan. The awful and archaic annual slaughter simply remains lawful because your government kowtowed to a handful of militant unions 🙈👎

.@JacintAllanMP Calling on duck slaughterers to abide by the rules is an example of weasel words.

You know full well that protected birds will continue to be shot and that many birds will die harrowing deaths because you chose to appease those who claim it is “sport”

'Expensive joke' - government slams nuclear coast proposal

(Indeed ⁦Tanya Plibersek⁩. The so-called proposal is a ⁦Peter Dutton⁩ thought bubble, but it also shows his complete contempt for ⁦Dan Tehan⁩’s constituents👎 ) krock.com.au/local-news/exp…

MP says coalition 'must' explain nuclear coast plan

While the community will never accept having a reactor imposed on it, presumably Dan Tehan⁩ has now told Peter Dutton⁩ that the high voltage power line connecting the old ⁦Alcoa⁩ site to the grid has been demolished bay939.com.au/local-news/teh…

As well as being responsible for nearly 600 million tonnes of greenhouse gas pollution, Whitehaven's Winchester South coal mine would clear about 2000ha of native vegetation, which includes habitat for endangered species like the koala and greater glider.

Australia collects more revenue from HECS than from the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax. 🙃

It’s time to increase the PRRT so that gas companies pay their fair share.

Traditional Owners Therese and Pirrawayingi from the Tiwi Islands have met with in Japan.

They urged 三井住友銀行 公式(ミドすけ) to pull finance for Santos’ dirty new project – set to be one of the most polluting LNG projects globally, with 3x the emissions of similar projects.

Can someone please tell Peter Dutton that dog whistling to so-called people smugglers in an attempt to gain cheap political points for his authoritarian opposition is unAustralian
