    Agree with this. Self interest, obviously, but also - climate change.... what bigger story?!

    Lots of great reporting in the finalist list, as always. Still no Science or Environment category, two years into a pandemic, decades into the climate crisis. These are specialized areas worthy of recognition.

    Time for staff and partners who say they care about climate change (or have climate in their title) to confront this in their own ranks. And for climate-aware clients to find an alternative service provider. Oil and gas expansionism is unacceptable.

    Not a good proposal.

    Government officials have today confirmed to a Senate Committee that new legislation will exempt the Future Fund's investments from FOI Law, meaning we would no longer be able to find out whether they've invested public money in fossil fuel companies like Adani.
