Labor campaigned heavily on climate action. This is a national disgrace. How can Australia expect to host COP31, when our own government clearly demonstrates a lack of commitment to action on climate?
Shame on the Albanese government.
Australia's biggest gas project, Woodside's North West Shelf, has received final approval to extend operations through until 2070.
I asked Chris Bowen about this in Question Time last week. Given the NT govt's failure to act, when will the federal govt step in to protect our health and our climate?
A gas plant 7km from Darwin has been leaking massive quantities of methane for 30 years. The NT Environment Protection Agency knew but has done nothing. The chair of the NT EPA is a paid lobbyist for the co-owner of the gas plant.
The man in charge of the Northern Territory government's handling of a major methane leak at a Santos gas plant was working with a lobbyist for the project's co-owner.
Australians are paying for the effects of climate change already. It's time the govt made big polluters pay their part. The first step is for the government to release its National Climate Risk Assessment report - to acknowledge, transparently and honestly, where we are and what we need to do.
Local government revenue is not keeping pace with the rapidly rising costs of climate change, according to new analysis by The Australia Institute.

Today is a significant moment in our history—one that we, as Victorians, will look back on with pride. Today, the Victorian Parliament will table the first-ever treaty legislation with the First Peoples of Victoria.
Victoria's historic treaty is promising to "reckon with the past" and empower the state's First Peoples — and explicitly declares it will not take anything away from the broader community.
Religious organisations with not-for-profit status shouldn’t be able to put huge amounts of money into influencing federal elections.
As a member of the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters, I’m looking forward to investigating third party involvement in the recent election.
The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church was so enmeshed in local Liberal campaigns that they were cleaning candidates’ houses. Now a new inquiry has been launched.
To protect Australians' health we need a strong national EPA watched over by an effective federal government.
Another day, another EPA failing to regulate mining and gas companies at the expense of our environment and health.
On Monday it was methane, Santos and the NT EPA - today, its lead, mining companies and the NSW EPA. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Documents tabled in NSW parliament show state agency took four years to publish report and told miners it would be put online ‘quietly’ but EPA says it was released to community earlier
