"A string of convictions recorded by the government-owned agency last year prompted a former magistrate to compare the forestry corporation to a “criminal organisation”, an accusation the NSWFC said at the time was “ridiculous”." https://t.co/xvPk21usMn

"More than 57,000 hectares of threatened species habitat was approved for destruction by the Australian government in 2025 – the most in 15 years, according to analysis by the Australian Conservation Foundation." https://t.co/3dfXySkuwv

If you want to be part of the grassroots movement for a strong climate response, we're working in the inner south east of Melbourne and would love to have you aboard!

If you are in #Menzies, your Federal MP is Gabriel Ng MP. His contact details are here:

If you are in #Chisholm, your Federal MP is Dr. Carina Garland Her contact details are here:

If you are in #Kooyong, your Federal MP is Dr Monique Ryan. Her contact details are here:

If you're local to our area, here are the contact details for your Federal representatives - drop them a line to let them know that you're dismayed by extreme weather events like this, and that you want urgent action.

And to make systems change happen, it's powerful for citizens to let their representatives know that you want to see the urgent climate action that will help prevent future tragedies.

The event is free but seats are limited, so book now:

You can hear where this process is up to - and where it's heading in 2026 - at our annual energy system update from energy expert Simon Holmes à Court. This year, he's joined by colleague Reuben Finighan from the Superpower Institute for what promises to be a cracking evening!

Importantly, though decarbonising our energy systems needs a systemic response - individuals can't do it all! While each of us crack on with reducing our own fossil fuel reliance, our governments and our energy system need to be working just as urgently at reshaping the grid.

You can also check out our detailed information page here:

We are holding an online information evening on Feb 4 where you can hear about how to get a home battery from those who have done it, and from expert installers. You can ask all your questions and find out what's feasible for you. RSVP here to join us! https://t.co/Vq0u7tePKV

And for those who can, installing a home battery to go with your solar system means you can become energy independent, and cut your reliance on the dirty coal grid.

One of the most critical pieces of our climate response is to decarbonise our energy system. Individual households have a big role to play in this: reducing usage, getting off gas, installing solar panels.

If you're wondering what you can do to help, stay tuned - it should become clearer in coming days where donations will be most needed. But in the meantime, see below for a few practical solutions to play your part in the climate response that will mitigate future catastrophes.

As Victoria declares a state of disaster, our thoughts are with the affected communities and our heroic firefighters.
