What if we treated the abject failure of our systems of government as a liberating opportunity to reinvent them?. What if, instead of the end of the world, we made it the end of the world as we know it?. Get yourself a copy of #LivingDemocracy here:

Oi, you. Yes, you. You do know how this works, right?. Every post here creates value for the company. The company is now deliberately seeding and tending fascism. I’m gobsmacked how many good people are still using this platform as though nothing is happening. Time to leave.

I’m on the blue skies place with the same username (lucky me with a very unusual actual name) and I’m on the elephant place with the same username at aus social. Please join us over there. This place is a flaming cesspit and I just can’t do it anymore….

Oh, um, hello. I'm just back here to say DON'T FORGET TO BOOK YOUR TIX TO THE @InstituteGreen CONFERENCE!. 6 weeks to go. Keynotes include Mary Graham & @MichelleMaloney, @FemInt & @DSchlosberg . And there'll be awesome panels and workshops announced very soon

OK, this place is clearly more of a toxic bin fire than ever. I'm off back the elephant site.

This was such a stimulating conversation with @AnthonyJamesNow for his wonderful #RegenNarration podcast. We talked about community, democracy, changing what’s possible, music and many more ideas emerging from my book, #LivingDemocracy. Give it a listen:.

RT @ChristineMilne: Excellent news. Govt has announced it will shelve Nature Repair Market Bill until at least end of the year. It needs to….

RT @MChandlerMather: So the federal budget surplus is now $19bn. All the Greens are asking for is $2.5 billion a year for public housing an….

If you’re interested and just catching up and keen to understand just how bad this idea was, here’s the report we put out with @InstituteGreen recently:.

Congrats and thanks, in particular, to @megcevans @EuanRitchie1 @YungEnChee1 @pollyjhemming @sarahinthesen8 and @ChristineMilne.

This is a tremendous victory for common sense, for the Greens, and for all the scientists and environmentalists who shone a blazing light on what an appalling wrong move the #NatureRepairMarket was. Labor’s neoliberal agenda is collapsing. Maybe they should try governing?.

This, alongside the sham of the #NatureRepairMarket & ongoing approval of fossil fuel expansion, needs to be the nail in the coffin of the idea that @AlboMP or @tanya_plibersek are in any way credible on the environment. This is another ecocidal government.

RT @sarahinthesen8: Wow. The offical Threatened Species Committee just told the Senate that Enviro Minister Plibersek has not even consulte….

A reasonably safe distance from Elon Musk.

Cool and normal. No need to worry.

RT @YungEnChee1: 📢Louder for the carbon market enthusiasts & would-be purchasers of carbon offsets📢.

RT @Tzeporah: A reminder that fossil fuel companies Net0 pledges are meaningless and we need to stop pretending we can negotiate with them.….

RT @EuanRitchie1: Ok, will government have the maturity to admit they’ve got it horribly wrong & that _maybe_ listening to thousands of sci….

RT @NickMcKim: The Labor government spends over $10b of public money every year subsidising the burning of fossil fuels. That’s how far we….

Hmmm, @BernardKeane in today's Crikey completely misses the mark. The EPBC Act actually gives a Minister incredible discretion, creating plenty of opportunities for a Minister who actually wants to confront the climate crisis to do so. Nice attempt to make excuses. No dice.
