Give us a break…

Pocock hasn't wasted a day in Parliament, and has been crucial to key integrity reforms. For example, did you know more than 2,000 people have all-access rights to Parliament House, but the public isn't allowed to know who they are, or who they work for🤔

Today we announced we're fundraising to help the most promising new community independent campaigns across the country.

More logging = less drinking water.

🌳=🚰
🪵=🚱

Logging in Melbourne’s water catchments increases evapotranspiration, which causes 15,000,000,000 litres of water to be lost from our dams per year.

By 2050, that’s 600,000 people’s annual water usage!

If you want to understand just how broken our HECS system is, here is a quick story 🧵

A few weeks ago, someone approached me at a community forum to tell me about her kids.

“Australians expect the national #nature law to actually protect the wildlife that we pride ourselves on, not to allow the ongoing destruction of vital habitat for threatened species,' said Hannah Schuch, Qld Campaign Manager at Wilderness Society. More👇wilderness.org.au/new-nature-laws

An investigation by Wilderness Society Greenpeace Australia Pacific & QLD Conservation Council has exposed multiple instances of large-scale #deforestation not referred to the federal government for approval, revealing major flaws in Australia's national environmental law. #EPBC wilderness.org.au/joint_deforest…

Melissa Lowe Tanya Plibersek I’d love a section that also includes the great Tassie forests

The Chief Scientist says nuclear is very expensive and the former Chief Scientist says it will cause carbon emissions to skyrocket.

Once again on climate change, the Coalition is one side and the science is on the other.

I'll go with the science.

This morning, I will deliver the largest ever public call for changes to HECS indexation to the Education Minister.

In six days more than 85,000 people have signed my petition for fairer HECS debts.

Some exciting news: My new book, Man-Made, has just been optioned by a production company to adapt to TV!

Can't wait to bring the wisdom of AI technologists, ethicists and advocates to a screen near you.

Hearty thanks to Film Camp, Diana Fisk, Jane Novak and SimonSchusterANZ

In 1890, John Muir a naturalist, Ansell Adams an acclaimed photographer and the then President of the USA Franklin Roosevelt, met at Wowona and created the world’s first National Park. Awesome! Tanya Plibersek how amazing would it be for you to create greatforestnationalpark.com.au/park/

Two years ago I was on Mon’s post for Dr Monique Ryan MP’s election campaign. Boy did we change #kooyong . Thanks for the hard work representing our community but also for your hard work in making politics better for ALL of us 🙏

Great to see another crossbench integrity reform make its way into government policy. Congratulations 🌏 Zali Steggall MP. Independents are strengthening our democracy:

✅ National Anti-Corruption Commission
✅ Truth in political advertising

Now let's pass my #CleanUpPoliticsAct .

The Coalition is now saying the quiet part out loud: their nuclear energy policy will keep coal going for longer.

We have the best renewable energy in the world.

The Coalition can keep the climate wars going, but my community is ready to see us become a renewables superpower.

Govt has committed to no new extinctions but isn’t listening to environmental scientists when it comes to delivering that like ending native forest logging, substantially increasing funding to threatened species & enviro laws that actually protect Nature.

There’s a strong argument to ban the supply & consumption of alcohol at Parliament House. For gods sake these ppl run the country & are public servants. And it’s a workplace! If they want to drink there’s plenty of bars & restaurants in Canberra. Thoughts Anthony Albanese ? #BarnabyJoyce
