First Nations peoples have cared for the lands & waters of Australia for over 65,000 years. The dispossession of Indigenous land from Indigenous hands is at the core of systemic unsustainable living, environmental degradation & fossil fuel pollution that underpins climate change.

As stressed at the UN & ICJ, business-as-usual propping up the fossil fuel industry is incompatible with the scale & urgency of the climate crisis. The credibility of this moment will be measured with immediate action- Albo can start by actioning a 25% tax on gas exports to fund a just transition.
This global win reflects years of leadership from Vanuatu & the Pacific, youth movements, civil society, First Nations people & frontline communities who refused to accept delay, continue to champion climate leadership, & demanded climate accountability. A win for them is a win for all of us!
For Australia as the third largest exporter of fossil fuels in the WORLD, this is urgent & global wake up call that Albanese must quit bolstering the fossil fuel industry at the expense of our future.
In a landmark win at the UN today, 141 countries including Australia affirmed that every country has a legal obligation to prevent further climate harm and safeguard present and future generations, and that climate harm carries legal consequences.
This @youth4climate.bsky.social action at Sarah Whitty's office was in response to Labor's weak targets & fossil fuel approvals. I know Whitty is well aware of the climate science and risks and that Melbourne wants real climate action from Labor. They can't press snooze on Melbourne constituents!

The Albanese Government’s climate target is absolutely fucked.
🗳️ Our Election Scorecard just dropped! 🗳️ Together with our friends at Seed Mob, we've taken a look at where parties and candidates stand on climate justice this election!
