Continued thread

This week, the freshly re-elected #Albanese Labor government scandalously approved a forty-year extension on the operational life of the gas hub, a move that not only threatens the priceless petroglyphs, but represents permission for #Woodside (the massive gas company that basically runs the state of Western Australia) to profit off a #CarbonBomb that will, once extracted and burned, add somewhere between four and six billion tonnes of climate-wrecking ocean-acidifying carbon dioxide to the active carbon cycle. The cumulative climate pollution from the life of this one project will thus considerably exceed the sum of Australia's projected national domestic emissions for the next decade or more.

Of all the legacies of this Labor government, this decision (alongside giving the green light to dozens more coal and gas projects) will ultimately be the most impactful. The carbon released for the short-term profits of a wealthy few will contribute to massively disrupting and degrading the habitability of the planet for everyone, continuing to shape life on Earth for at least the next forty thousand years.

@abcfeeds based upon #albanese s last term I’m going with big reform is not going to occur. To be honest I doubt small reform is going to happen either. We will have 4 years of tweaking and shoring up votes. So like the crappy half arsed federal #icac we got in the last term we will get crappy half arsed #environmemt, crappy half arsed #tax and crappy half arsed #defence. The guy isn’t actually into making big decisions or visions. #labor #auspol

*things British politicians are too scared of Trump and Populist voters to say

If Labour had been strong against Trump people would have given them the benefit of a doubt for longer, but no....sucking up to Trump and carrying on every mean Tory policy.

But UK Labour won't learn a thing from their distant Australian cousins will they? Our cultures being so different.../s

#Trump bad for the #US, apparently good for other world democracies

#Australia re-elects Anthony #Albanese as #Labor rides #antiTrump wave to seal crushing win

Australia’s centre-left PM, Anthony Albanese, has won a 2nd term with a crushing victory over the opposition, whose rightwing leader, #PeterDutton, failed to brush off comparisons with Donald Trump & ended up losing his own seat.
