    That’s basically the case, Labor recently (as in this last week) approved new fossil fuel extraction projects to open in fucking the 2060s and 2080s… (We are meant to be at zero emissions by 2050)

    They’re also giving out an ungodly amount of subsidies to fossil fuel companies, to the tune of $14.5 Billion

    The climate activism group I’m with arranged a bunch of snap protests around Melbourne at Labor offices. The one federal member who came out to talk to us basically just tried to distract from all of this with the increase in renewables spending, but she also implied that they had to keep opening new projects like this because of the money…
