⚖️ Did you know that only 30% of laws in NSW are made by an Act of Parliament?
The other 70% is known as delegated legislation. But what exactly does that mean, and what role does the Legislative Council play in scrutinising it?
Watch to find out 👇

Yaaay, so happy for you all. You're a good human Elaine, about time you and the team were recognised for the things you do.
Go well 🙌🏾

Craziness. Trump’s planned rollback of methane rules would emit 60 million more tons of the gas (80 times more warming than CO2 over 20 years) while his own EPA admits it would cut oil prices by just 0.14% and increase production by a miniscule 0.09%.

Don’t tell @australian …
In 2025, global CO₂ concentration rose to a record 426.8 parts per million. That's 153% of pre-industrial levels.
Every additional ppm traps more heat and supercharges the ocean and the atmosphere.

NEW: China's wind and solar exports are now equivalent to 100 coal-fired power plants.
That's 2 coal plants a week.
Except these ones are avoided.

‘Researchers are calling for climate change to be declared a global health emergency to enable a coordinated global response.’
This is a no-brainer, and should have happened YEARS ago.

“After days of confusion, the West Australian government has confirmed it is now actively investigating repeated large methane emissions from Chevron's Gorgon gas project off the state's Pilbara coast.
“The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) was initially unclear on whether it had jurisdiction over the plumes, which had been observed by a United Nations-linked satellite for the past year.
“But a government spokesperson said DWER was "working hard" to establish the cause of the emissions, and engaging with Chevron to determine the appropriate response.”

🌎 From the Andes of Peru to Hamyang, South Korea, what happens when climate-affected communities take major emitters to court?
Across the world, communities facing the impacts of climate change are increasingly turning to litigation to ask a fundamental question: Who should be held accountable for climate-related harm?
Next Tuesday, November 3, Saúl Luciano Lliuya, the Peruvian farmer and mountain guide behind the landmark Lliuya v. RWE climate case, will join farmer plaintiffs from South Korea’s Ma v. KEPCO case for a special roundtable in Seoul.
Bringing together plaintiffs, legal practitioners, and climate science perspectives from Peru, Germany, and South Korea, the discussion will explore:
⚖️ How can major emitters’ contributions to climate harm be established?
🔬 What role can climate science play in proving causation?
🌱 What do these cases mean for the evolving landscape of corporate climate accountability?
Featured speakers include:
• Saúl Luciano Lliuya, plaintiff in Lliuya v. RWE
• Jae-Cheol Nam, Research Professor, Seoul National University; former Administrator of the Korea Meteorological Administration
• Caroline Schroeder, Communications Officer, @Germanwatch
• Francesca Mascha Klein, Legal Officer for Strategic Litigation at Germanwatch (remote)
• Yeny Kim, Attorney, @forourclimate
• Yong-un Ma, Seong-yeol Hwang, and Kibong Song, plaintiffs in Ma v. KEPCO

Air quality alerts for Warkworth, Aberdeen, Bulga, Camberwell, Mount Thorley and another for Warkworth all for PM10 levels. That makes 292 air quality alerts for the Upper Hunter this year. This dust ain’t good for our health.

Historic: for the 1st time in any quarter, Australia’s big batteries out-supplied gas in the evening peak. Q3 2026, main grid (NEM):
>Gas generation: lowest Q3 since 2000 (down 34% to 881 MW)
>Renewables: record 44.3%
>Wholesale prices: down 27%
>Solar + battery homes: 75% less peak grid draw vs solar-only
Batteries in, gas out = cheaper electricity: When zero-marginal-cost electrons take over the 6 PM peak, expensive gas peakers lose their pricing power
