RIP legendary Midnight Oil drummer and environmentalist Rob Hirst. Rob was a tremendous supporter of the work of Greenpeace. Greenpeace is very deeply grateful to Rob for his deep commitment to environmentalism and social justice over so many years.

Woodside Energy knowingly dumped 200kg of plastic into the ocean while decommissioning offshore gas infrastructure. Knowing the risks, they kept polluting Australian waters. The ocean is not your dumping ground - the government must hold Woodside accountable. @albomp.bsky.social bit.ly/3YojIJu

A huge victory for nature! The Government and Greens have agreed to a stronger national nature law: and it happened because people spoke up. Deforestation loopholes are finally closing. Logging and land clearing will face real assessments for the first time ever.

By releasing a 2035 emissions target far short of what the best science says is needed to safeguard Australia, the Albanese government has given itself a political & practical problem. There’s only one way out of this mess: 🧵 #auspol

@albomp.bsky.social’s new 2035 climate target is weak, dangerous, and far short of what’s needed. Australia owes the Pacific and frontline communities across Australia a plan that is net zero by 2035, and a fast, fair fossil-fuel phase-out. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Tough stories recently about bleaching on the GBR and Ningaloo. This year marks the first time reefs on opposite sides of Australia have both bleached. How many more wake-up calls before we act? Without urgent emissions cuts, our precious places could be gone forever. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...
