"We fought so hard to avoid this." Our clients, the Environment Council of Central Queensland (ECoCeQ), tried in court to make Minister Plibersek act on the climate damage of two proposed coal mines. Today, the govt approved huge expansions 👉 envirojustice.org.au/press-release/…

🚨🚨 BREAKING: 3 new coal mines approved 🚨🚨 “These approvals are inconsistent with Australia’s climate goals and reinforces our country’s reputation as one of the world’s major fossil fuel exporters," said @R_o_d_C @TheAusInstitute Full statement: australiainstitute.org.au/post/coal-mine…

Australia's environment minister just approved three coal mine expansions, two of them enormous, in one afternoon, one week after refusing to amend environment laws to take account of climate damage

The cross bench is presenting a pathway to an EPA that will actually change the status quo for nature. The main risk of the EPA bill falling over is ALP not negotiating with them in good faith

The Greens Party is eroding democracy more than you know. The combination of their “block everything” approach and their dishonest slogans is undermining democracy. An #auspol thread 🧵 👇

This story should be front page for days…Japan doesn’t even need all the gas we are selling it..it’s reselling it! While the our Minister for (exporting) Resources says our trading partners are in desperate need for our gas…they’re actually busy onselling it! #auspol #climate

Madeleine King tells Australians Japan needs our gas to keep the lights on. Meanwhile Japan is importing excess gas and selling it on to other countries… and subsidises them to use it! 🤦 reneweconomy.com.au/japan-does-not…

9/ Shocking from Labor! Asking witnesses at the hearing to just 'put aside' how this Bill will deny the rights of thousands of people in Australia. Human rights are for all humans, you cannot pick and choose.

Carbon Market Watch strongly condemns the decision of the Science Based Targets initiative's Board of Trustees that SBTi would recognise carbon credits as a way to “abate” scope 3 emissions. This unscientific decision must be reversed. carbonmarketwatch.org/2024/04/10/sci…

In this article for Peter McMullin Centre for Statelessness (at Melbourne Law School), I argue that “statelessness” may not always be a linear, black-&-white phenomenon. In certain contexts, such as #Assam, it is best understood as a spectral “zone” of citizenship deprivation.

In the latest Critical #Statelessness Studies blog entry, @angshuman_ch argues for the concept of "zones of statelessness" to usefully understand situations of more spectral #citizenship #deprivation - like that of #Assam, #India. law.unimelb.edu.au/centres/statel…

Strategic litigation in action! After @BSCA_Aus won their case against the EPA, the Court found the State’s lead environment protection agency had a duty to protect us all from climate change. That duty is now enshrined in law What a privilege to have represented you guys💚💚

We're celebrating the news that our 2021 Court win has been set down in law through the Environment Protection Legislation Amendment Bill naming EPA's role as including a duty to take action on climate! @NSW_EPA @PennySharpemlc @TrishDoyleMP @kelliesloane @James_HGriffin
