Politicians should owe a duty of care to young Australians on climate change. They don't deserve to inherit a future shaped by disastrous decisions. This has to stop. https://t.co/lNdyJPPqLX

Australians want the extraordinary places and species that make our home so unique protected. We are part of Nature, so it’s devastating to see a lack of political will from Labor to safeguard the future for all of us. We have an opportunity to fix this. https://t.co/DsdgLGMjyF

There have been moments of modest progress but the Albanese government has not lived up to its early rhetoric

So under Labor, teenagers can go to jail but can’t go on TikTok. Of course, they will still be able to watch gambling ads online and live in poverty. #qt

We already know 🇦🇺s lose more per capita in gambling losses than any other country in the world - this report from @GrattanInst adds even more weight to the evidence for a total gambling advertising ban. https://t.co/Ps6VZC9dTL
