BREAKING: today @DanielAndrewsMP gov introduced dangerous changes to forest protest laws, $21,000 in fines or 12 months in jail for stopping logging. Disgraceful, heavy-handed, draconian laws designed to stop communities from acting to protect forests. This will not silence us.

'When asked, Forest Fire Management Victoria did not explain why burns were originally planned in an area containing the last known population of a critically endangered orchid' Just a normal day at FFMV. As overseen by the *cough* Environment Minister https://t.co/MIdasixBXn

Veteran forest campaigner @bulga99 is the 12th person arrested in the campaign to stop logging in the Bulga State Forest. “Every hour those machines don’t work is 50 trees saved” she said yesterday. #NaturePositive

Fewer than 10 of these orchids remain in the wild. Victoria was about to burn them into extinction. When asked, Forest Fire Management Victoria did not explain why burns were planned in an area containing the last known population #FFMV

How many examples does @VicGovAu need? Our precious wildlife & their habitats need proper oversight to survive. "@FFMVic did not explain why burns were originally planned in an area containing the last known population of a critically endangered orchid" https://t.co/EDMMaxJ89w

When you’re an environment minister like @tanya_plibersek, it’s all about getting the balance right between saying the right thing and doing the wrong thing for the environment. #auspol #climatechange

Approving three coal mines in 2024 is the opposite of climate action. And just weeks away from hosting a global summit on being 'Nature Positive'? It just doesn't stack up... @AlboMP @tanya_plibersek @Bowenchris https://t.co/UdcadDfFbG

Sooooo Nature Positive, @tanya_plibersek!

What. Is. The. Point. Of. @AustralianLabor?

Labor has just approved 3 new coal projects in a single day. A betrayal of our environment, the science, and everyone who voted for climate action. This Government cannot be trusted to fight this crisis.

BREAKING - horrible news! The Albanese Government has just approved THREE massive new coal mine expansions - Mt Pleasant, Narrabri Underground, and Ashton. These projects will be responsible for more than 1.4 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions combined.

I’m so disappointed at the Labor Party @TanyaPlibersek teaming up with LNP to block ending the exemption of native forest logging under EPBC. Years wasted. #auspol

"I am obligated to protect country" — Pakana / Palawa political activist Jim Everett-Puralia Meenamatta has again refused to attend court on charges relating to trespass where forest logging is destroying large tracts of relational ecosystems. #politas https://t.co/NOu4CF2UVB

The Regional Forest Agreements must go. It makes no sense to exempt logging from environment laws #ecocide #extinction #habitat https://t.co/uOUJDCTAOq

Week 50. Keep showing up!

Australian police used stun grenades and pepper spray on anti-war protesters who gathered outside an arms convention in Melbourne to demand a weapons embargo on Israel.

Anti-war and social justice activists begin a picket against Land Forces at the Melbourne Convention Centre on September 11. #disruptlandforces #freepalestine #greenleft

Just a reminder to everyone that the violence, as always, was initiated by police. Credit: Chelsea Catherine
