    Australia signed up to the Paris Agreement, committing to keep global warming well below 2 degrees. Here’s how the NEG compares. 🤯

    PSA: This is what the electricity sector emission projections for the look like in comparison to the 2-degree scenarios modeled by the Climate Change Authority.

    YES! And 3. it’s somehow ok to forget that THIS VERY GOV tore down a working climate/energy policy that had required compromise btw ALP/Greens/Indeps, helping create the very uncertainty the gov pretends it wants to resolve & 4. that this crap deal will bring anything to an end.

    Fascinated by the number of senior journalists who think 1. the NEG is actually a policy rather than a political fix for the Liberals' climate denialism and 2. that a decade of policy conflict on climate action should be ended with surrender to denialism.

    This is an Australian Minister on a mission to sell more military hardware to the Saudis. Yesterday the Saudi-led coalition bombed a school bus in Yemen and 29 children are dead. I’m calling on the govt to condemn this bombing & end military ties

    Queensland, Victoria and the ACT were quite right to reject the proposed National Energy Guarantee in its present form. To do so now would have been undeserved reward for the destructive actions of former prime minister Tony Abbott..

    Thanks to Robert Manne for his insightful reflections on my book in SMH today. At the end of the article, he says: “I would like to believe (but I'm afraid I don't) that the nation will learn from this book, experience shame, and take action.”

    States and Territories have poked Fed gov in the eye on the NEG, declining to endorse it in principle & recognising it locks out renewables. Fed Gov must rethink its plans.

    The ACT has today declined to endorse the National Energy Guarantee () in principle, but has agreed to keep working on the scheme.

    To every concerned constituent who has just flooded my office asking for a picture of the Queen, I trust you’ll be happy when you get this in the mail.

    Thanks, , for getting within a whisker of winning. Deciding to sit this one out was a tough call & I admire Alex’s strength. I’m sure this isn’t the end of Alex’s contribution to progressive politics because she still has a lot to offer

    The NEG, in its current form, proclaims to halt the energy transition in its tracks. It's a nonsense of course, but Australia needs a policy that recognises the future, not one that pretends to be able to stop it..

    Today, new report warns that on current trends, 'many parts of Earth could become uninhabitable' with 'planet at risk of entering an irreversible "hothouse" climate". That's why want policies that cut pollution, not harmful deals to lock-in coal.

    Glad to see some States starting to oppose NEG, esp as NEG deal now includes a coal slush fund. oppose NEG: it is worse for renewables than doing nothing. Whatever amendments might happen in Senate, Senate can’t fix it if Lib & Lab States do a dirty deal. We can stop NEG.

    No!!! C’mon, Labor. The need help stopping these climate-denying drought-inducing bushfire-promoting coal-hugging dinosaurs. Fight the LNP, don’t support them.

    A federal Labor MP has said new coal-fired power stations could be part of the nation’s energy mix and urged state Labor governments to support Malcolm Turnbull’s national energy guarantee

    Meanwhile, as one LNP Minister doesn’t care if climate change is caused by humans & another pushes to keeps coal-fired power open longer, this: Earth at risk of 'hothouse climate' where efforts to reduce emissions won’t stop runaway global warming
