If it wasn’t for West Australians investing in rooftop solar, there would have been no growth in renewables in WA over the past three years, i.e. over WA Labor’s last term of government 🤦‍♂️

Large scale wind and solar have stalled. The Cook Government needs to get their foot off the hose of renewable energy and enable it to flow again.

Given how ex-ministers from this government tend to jump straight into the fossil fuel and mining sectors, thought it might be fun to take a punt on where the actual mining energy minister will end up…

Simultaneously announcing pointless climate legislation and two more years of directly funding coal power, while renewable energy flatlines?⁠

Just a regular week for this increasingly captured State Government 🔥🌏⁠

So good to be part of @thegreenswa action this weekend; speaking truth to power in the shadow of the Woodside building.

Summer has only just begun and we’ve already sweltered through the worst November heatwave on record and seen bushfires tear through homes North of Perth 🔥

For a safe climate we need to transition out of gas not continue expanding gas extraction and emissions 👎

On Wednesday I tabled a community petition asking

On Wednesday I tabled a community petition asking the WA government to step in and save the Perth Cultural Centre Wetlands from destruction as the City of Perth intends. As the petition notes this space is an important link to Perth/Boorloo’s ecological and cultural heritage, a place of beauty and rest for many. ⁠
⁠
The current leakage issues need fixing but concreting the wetlands over as part of the PCC redevelopment is a backwards step – I urge the government to listen the community and back a solution that ensures their preservation.⁠

Looking forward to the Future Homes Expo this week

Looking forward to the Future Homes Expo this weekend! Innovation in how we build is going to be crucial as we confront Perth’s housing challenges and the impacts of climate change.⁠

UPDATE. NOW 2pm. As the pause in fighting comes

UPDATE. NOW 2pm. As the pause in fighting comes to an end the state of Israel must take a different approach in Gaza. Human rights and the safety and protection of innocent civilians must be upheld. The collective Palestinian punishment for the atrocities of Hamas must not continue.

If you are able, join Unionists For Palestine (WA) tomorrow morning for a community picket in Fremantle against Israeli shipping company ZIM.

Where: Meet outside Patrick container terminal car park Napier Rd (off Tydeman Rd). Please park at Port Beach.

When: 2.pm, Saturday December 2nd

* Stop the genocide in Gaza!

* Immediate and permanent ceasefire now!

* Freedom and justice for Palestine!

All welcome, bring placards, signs and solidarity!
