NSW Pollies are thinking about the election in March 2027. Tell them you want action to rein in broadscale clearing of native habitat on private land knittingnannas.org/2026/08/10/a...
Email NSW MPs to fix land clearing laws
One of the Minns government’s promises before the last election was to rein in excessive land clearing on private land. It was out of control then, and it still is.

There’s only 25 days left for NSW @australianlabor.bsky.social to keep its 2023 election promises. So how about we give Premier Chris Minns a hand & remind him WTF he pledged? Join 🧶👵 outside NSW #parliament house, 11-1pm next Tuesday Aug 4. We have signs and 🎶. Protest while we still can!
Pay attention Australia it could happen here & with Segal thinking she can spread her propaganda it’s already begun.
Lucy Hamilton@lucyham.bsky.social · 3w agoThe UK gov is almost able to make protest untenable now. You can only protest if you are invisible. UK has made political prisoners of Grannies and church folk holding signs. The UK’s slide to illiberalism is better dressed than the US version, but it’s the same trajectory.

“breaking the big polluters’ grip on the public sphere is a prerequisite for the collective action needed to avert the worst of the climate crisis.” Got kids? Tell these #FossilFuel buggers to stop lying and cheating in schools, museums and sport fields. Just do it. thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...
Around the globe governments are banning fossil fuel ads. What are Australian politicians waiting for?
There is nothing democratic about the public realm being used to pressure us towards behaviours that are socially and environmentally destructive. Like reining in the corporate capture of politicians,...
