The govt collects more money from HECS than it does from the PRRT.
Australians are missing out on revenue for public services while fossil fuel companies make record profits. We need to increase the PRRT #auspol

Coal, oil and gas companies – including @SantosLtd and @WoodsideEnergy – gave over $1.78 MILLION to Australia's political parties last year.
Surprising no-one, these donations occurred right as the government chose to approve new fossil fuel projects.

EY are doing work for the Federal Government on policy to reduce emissions at the same time as they’re doing work for the gas industry on how to have policy that increases emissions 🤔🤯theguardian.com/business/202…

Can anyone fathom why the Govt is baulking at introducing a fuel efficiency standard?
It means we are paying significantly more to do trips & creating more pollution
Currently Australia & Russia are the only 2 developed nations without one

Promising to "transition away" from fossil fuels in the face of the climate crisis is like being diagnosed with diabetes and promising your doctor you'll "transition away" from donuts.
#COP28 My take: The #ClimateCrisis crisis is driven by fossil fuels, which the industry is phasing *UP*
Is "transition away" a strong enough signal to change that anytime soon? Not in my opinion
But the citing of fossil fuels is historic. It's a tragedy it has taken 30 years
This is the only summary you need to read of #COP28. The one that’s grounded in earth systems science. And does not care about pledges or ambiguous promises. @TheAusInstitute @MCFunimelb @climatecouncil @ClimateRealityA @impactxtech
