I can’t say I wasn’t aware of the greenwashing that’s going on on the back of the fuel tax credit (FTC) scheme, but it doesn’t hurt keeping up to date with the rorts purpetrated by our mining and extracting industry giants. This tax-payer funded rort, just keeps getting better and better despite the revelations in independent media. Not that our #Labor govt is inclined to stamp it out apparently. Seems like we can do both, meet our paultry emission targets AND pay big poluters to, well… polute some more. How inane is that. This is govt taking the rest of us for #numpties. This BS can’t be allowed to go on. We need #AlboPM to end the FTC schemes at least for big business if he’s not gutsy enough to cut the #Farmers out as well.
“The analysis by Naru Research found the top 18 FTC scheme recipients, mostly multinational iron ore mining and coal companies, collectively received $3.3 billion in credits but only faced an estimated $150 million in compliance costs under the Safeguard Mechanism.
“Australia’s biggest industrial greenhouse gas emitters are being paid to pollute,” stated researcher Tim Baxter.”

What a bunch of hypocrites (#Labor #LNP parties)… let’s all be anti-nuclear wars but bugger the non proliferation treay (#NPT) we’ve committed to if there’s a commercial deal to be made. There’s a reason why #India is not an NFT signatory and it’s not because it doesn’t like #Inspections of nuclear facilities. It has to do with #Pakistan (also no a signatory) and the nuclear threat it represents. And even if it is likely that India will abide by its commitment, it just frees up the uranium they get from other sources from non-weapons programmes to be diverted to military use. So, yes, one way or another, #Australia will contribute to weaponised uranium in India. Well done ! Bunch of #NeoLiberal lapdogs. No doubt the #MiningSector Lobby (and #Gina?) has the govt’s ear.

#IndigenousLands are crucial for #ClimateMitigation and #resilience.
Research shows their health is a direct result of #IndigenousStewardship.
"As the impacts of #ClimateChange continue to escalate, a growing number of climate scientists and policymakers cite Indigenous lands as a model for their rich #biodiversity and effective carbon storage. But that recognition has not always translated into space for Indigenous leaders in climate negotiations, access to #ClimateResilience funding, or enforcement of #HumanRights standards.
"That has been the case for decades. But the problems do not stop there. New research shows that approach overlooks the key role that Indigenous knowledge and culture can play in mitigating climate change. It also reveals a dangerous misconception that has taken hold in global climate discussions: the idea that Indigenous lands are so rich because they are remote or sparsely populated.
"Nothing could be further from the truth. The health of Indigenous lands and their ability to store vast quantities of carbon stem from the stewardship of the people who inhabit them.
"That’s the finding of research from Conservation International, which shows that traditional knowledge, community protocol, and Indigenous culture play a direct role in protecting forests, wildlife, and the environment. Sushma Shrestha, who is #Indigenous #Newar from #Nepal and the study’s lead author, said the research comes at a critical time.
" 'All of humanity relies on everything that #IndigenousPeoples have to contribute and offer in terms of their lands, in terms of carbon storage, in terms of biodiversity conservation,' she said.
"The study, released as a narrative report and a peer-reviewed study, explores how #IndigenousKnowledge and practices benefit the planet. It also found that all 43 of the surveyed communities are experiencing drought, extreme weather, and other adverse impacts from climate change. More than half are affected by #ExtractiveIndustries like #mining and #logging.
"Researchers interviewed 49 Indigenous leaders from six continents about how they steward their land, which ranged from the Amazon rainforest to East African savannas and Pacific Islands. They found that traditional management practices like avoiding #overfishing, maintaining sacred spaces, watching for fires and other threats, and direct resistance against extraction contribute to the remarkable health of Indigenous territory. Ninety-six percent of respondents said they had land set aside for special uses, like spiritual practices, that also benefit the environment by protecting those spaces and ecosystems. Shrestha stressed that although each Indigenous community is distinct, there are shared lessons the entire world can learn from.
" 'It’s a time where all hands need to be on deck,' Shrestha said. 'And collectively, actions need to be taken, and indigenous peoples have been doing this on their own for a very long time.'
"The study builds on years of research that shows, among other things, that the world’s healthiest forests are on Indigenous lands and conservation efforts are more effective when they incorporate Indigenous autonomy and decision-making at every step."

#KenHenry ‘s most relevent words in his Guardian article are not about tax reforms but instead they are about the scourge of #Capitalism in large letters: “…towards investing in real restoration through shifting the responsibility for nature repair to precisely those industries that have caused the damage. Australia has spent many decades writing cheques against accounts it does not own, taking from the “natural capital” of future generations … “
So while Henry supports #Chalmers ‘ latest budget for its courage, modest as it is in imo, and accuses #GriftingCorporations of ecological genocide (rightly so), there is no finger pointing to #Labor ‘s continued financial and legislative subventions of the #FossilFuelIndustries and #ExtractiveIndustries responsible for worsening an already oversubscribed budget, withholding rightful sovereign revenue and raping a land never ceded.

#Reciprocity, #Respect, #Relationality: Three Rs to Understand #IndigenousPerspectives on Development in the #Green conomy
By Edson Krenak, May 27, 2026
"Reciprocity is more than a practice; it is our way of life, the way of life. Instead of focusing solely on economic growth, without limit, we must pay attention to check whether all beings are enjoying life in a healthy place. Without reciprocity, the green economy will reproduce the same extractive logic it claims to overcome, and eventually fail our common home, Earth."

#Reciprocity, #Respect, #Relationality: Three Rs to Understand #IndigenousPerspectives on Development in the #Green conomy
By Edson Krenak, May 27, 2026
"Reciprocity is more than a practice; it is our way of life, the way of life. Instead of focusing solely on economic growth, without limit, we must pay attention to check whether all beings are enjoying life in a healthy place. Without reciprocity, the green economy will reproduce the same extractive logic it claims to overcome, and eventually fail our common home, Earth."

We’ve watched the #LNP shoot itself in the foot, twice in both feet and redoubling its effort to dig its own grave. Now we’re being presented with a #Labor party apparently intent on following suite. #Unions and #LaborHeartland must be seething in frustration approaching outright anger by now.
I’ve been there and I’m not looking back. For me #Labor has lost its way, completely, maybe beyond salvage. The following is just furhter proof of it.
“There’s a tell when a politician has been captured by an industry lobby. The language shifts. The carefully prepared lines about “existing contracts,” “investment certainty,” and “there’s already a tax, actually” start flowing out with the smoothness of a media brief, because that’s exactly what they are. The Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on all evidence appears to have been captured. So has Resources Minister Madeleine King.”

Thanks to Malthus, we have focused on food as the limit to population growth. For some reason, we have failed to consider how demands on other resources may have limits that we cannot afford to cross.

Albertans Could Soon Vote on Whether to Separate From Canada. Here’s What to Know
by Chantelle Lee, May 5, 2026
"Many Albertans have slammed the federal Liberal government for blocking #pipeline projects and canceling oil and gas projects. The province’s economy is largely driven by its #OilAndGas extraction, as well as #mining and #quarrying."
