New report shows Japan potentially making more than $1 billion in profit on-selling more 🇦🇺 gas than our whole East Coast annual domestic gas consumption. More proof Australia has a gas export not a gas supply problem. ieefa.org/resources/how-…

Japan makes more money from our offshore gas than we do 🤯🫠 We’re yet to get a cent of Petroleum Resource Rent Tax from offshore LNG exports 😤 Why are the major parties happy to give our gas away for free?! canberratimes.com.au/story/8970951/

Rather than short-term rebates that aren’t means tested, ppl would benefit more with ongoing energy bill savings from targeted govt support for electrification (solar, batteries etc) for households who struggle to afford to transition. Govt should listen to advice from experts👇

We need to be doing more - not less - to protect children & young people from harmful advertising on everything from gambling to alcohol. Govt & regulators have to put people ahead of vested interests. theguardian.com/media/2025/may…

A scathing audit finds Defence failed to meet local industry requirements in major procurements, breaching finance law in the process. Policies mean nothing without action. I’ll continue to push Defence to get serious about sovereign 🇦🇺 capability. canberratimes.com.au/story/8971793/…

Deeply saddened by the Native Title Tribunal’s decision to approve gas drilling in the Pilliga - against the wishes of Gomeroi People. Cultural heritage, water, & climate are all at risk. When I visited, it was clear this project lacks community support. afr.com/companies/ener…

Our community wants, expects, and deserves more transparency. We can't let multinational big tech companies dictate terms of secrecy around service agreements with the 🇦🇺 government worth hundreds of millions.

The great gas con continues. Major parties claim 🇦🇺’s running out of gas - & that 🇯🇵 & 🇰🇷 need our exports for “energy security” Truth is we’ve got plenty of gas. It's a gas export problem, not supply problem. We get higher prices, 🇯🇵 companies get richer. Who’s benefitting?

Changes at ANU are needed for long-term sustainability but there's HUGE concern in the community about how its being handled. The prospect of further job cuts, especially without genuine consultation, will add to existing widespread distress on campus. region.com.au/no-financial-r…

This centre could have been saved. With an acute shortage of early education places already in Canberra, it is disappointing to see this closure & the disruption for families + staff when there was a possibility of preventing it. canberratimes.com.au/story/8974365/…

According to Healing Foundation, Only 6% of recommendations from the Bringing them home report have been delivered. They’re calling for: - Improved access to records - Culturally safe aged care - Equitable redress Labor needs to get this done. au.news.yahoo.com/sorry-day-heal…

⚡️prices are rising again- up to 10% from 1 July Why? Expensive gas & ageing coal Solution = investment in rooftop solar, household batteries & energy efficiency Govt should do more to support on top of 8 suburb-wide projects xbench got up last year region.com.au/canberrans-ele…

Deeply concerning to see gas giants emboldened post-election. Minister is right, 🇦🇺s are sick of paying higher prices, being threatened with manufactured shortages & seeing enviro destroyed - all without a fair return for our gas. But where is the govt’s plan to fix this??

Richard Boyle should have been rewarded, not prosecuted. He did the right thing but paid a huge price. We need urgent reform & a whistleblower protection authority. The xbench & I have a bill to establish the authority. The govt should get on with it. abc.net.au/news/2025-05-2…

The Govt has approved one of the biggest fossil fuel projects in our history The NW Shelf Extension threatens to destroy 47,000 yr old petroglyphs & will drive more extreme bushfires, droughts & floods. This isn’t leadership- it’s a betrayal of our future canberratimes.com.au/story/8979259/

Successive govts have failed to ensure 🇦🇺 gas benefits Australians. The re-elected Albanese Govt risks doing the same. There's enough uncontracted gas to fix the projected shortfall. What’s missing is the guts to stand up to the gas industry. afr.com/politics/feder…

A carbon market without integrity undermines real climate action. We need a market that rewards high-quality carbon removal The govt should implement all recommendations from the Chubb Review of 🇦🇺 carbon credits as a matter of urgency afr.com/policy/energy-…

It’s now clear that this whole-of-govt contract is going to run into the hundreds of millions of taxpayer $$ It’s completely unacceptable that Amazon Web Services has said the 🇦🇺 Govt can not publish the total contract value 🤯 When will our leaders stand up to big tech??
