We already have all the technology needed to stop and reverse climate change. We just need different politicians
@DoctorKarl The thing with terraforming other planets to make them habitable is, if we had that technology, we should use it on earth to stop it becoming uninhabitable.

“We are not going to hurt those wonderful people that put food on our table.” ~ @M_McCormackMP Sweet sentiment mate, but that’s exactly what you are doing from inadequately addressing climate change. Save the sugar for your coffee. #ClimateActionNow

Happy New Year, good folk of Victoria. I’ve never felt more a part of this state as in 2020. We’ve had such hard times and challenges but we’ve got this. The path forward will be easier. We go into 2021 with such strong public health approaches. A credit to everyone. Thank you!

Wow. We don’t have the details yet... but Johnson is apparently going to ban the sale of _all_ petrol/diesel vehicles inside a decade. Has anyone told the English they’ll lose their weekends? And there will be no more tradies? 🤷🏼♂️

Some of the behaviour today - when we’re asking people to stay home - has been really crap. It’s hard to change habits and it’s hard to see dangers that aren’t apparent yet. But with 3,000 cases of COVID in Australia this week, we’re headed to 100,000 in 2-3 weeks without change.

Calm Your Farm! #itstartswithag #foodpolicymatters
Victorian farmers are calling for calm, and insist there is enough fresh food for everyone. @GermanoEmma has a farm in South Gippsland - and is also the Vice President of @Vicfarmers. https://t.co/5zYfOfohG3

Climate explained: what each of us can do to reduce our carbon footprint #ClimateAction

Individual actions to reduce emissions are important in two ways. First, they have an immediate impact, and secondly, adopting low-carbon life choices sends a clear message to political leaders.

$850m package for Indian farmers to export already subsidised sugar onto the world market ! Global sugar price goes into free-fall. @Birmo @D_LittleproudMP @ScottMorrisonMP we must use @wto as a matter of priority and principle. @NationalFarmers @afsnsw @CANEGROWERS @MalesWarren
India's decision to push subsidised sugar onto the world market is devastating for Aussie sugarcane growers. The world price dropped further overnight. We're calling on the Australian Government to take the issue to the World Trade Organisation. https://t.co/NnlSx6lTJW

Those who know me know I love a multi-buy, but 3 punnets of the best tasting strawberries I’ve had all year for $6 is a joke. Send a farmer some love and buy some berries! #noneedles @NationalFarmers @VicFarmers @theweeklytimes @stockandland
