We lose millions of litres of drinking water from Sydney and Wollongong’s water catchment every single day as a result of the impacts of mining on our water catchment.

Huge show of support for Palestine, Gaza and the Palestine solidarity movement at @Sydney_Uni this morning while Zionists conduct their cynical 'march for a safe campus'. Real safety means thriving communities. That and genocide just don't mix.
Heavy rain is predicted for Wollongong this weekend. What are the operators of the mines in this city doing to ensure predicted heavy rain won’t pollute waterways? Can we have confidence that we won’t see coal wash in creeks.
Can we have confidence that people in Russell Vale won’t have to deal with coal wash in their front yards?

*If* wildlife spotters and catchers aren’t checking trees before they’re destroyed, animals such as this devine baby black-footed tree-rat, a listed threatened species, are almost certainly being condemned and crushed to death.
Is this your ‘Nature Positive’, @tanya_plibersek?
I’m told 18 protesters were arrested today, yet allegedly clearing is occurring without fauna spotters & catchers & areas that shouldn’t be cleared have been?
If true, why aren’t breaches of environmental law & regulations punished?

Trees & their hollows are homes for wildlife, including threatened species such as the Gouldian finch, black-footed tree-rat & northern brushtail possum. Today they're being destroyed at Lee Point in Darwin, after @Tanya_Plibersek's approval. Ecocide in action. Environment laws?

Finland is aiming to go carbon neutral in 15 years. They're creating jobs by boosting #renewables and saving trees. Its CO2 emissions have already dropped 21% since 1990s levels.
We have the solutions, let's speed it up and implement them. #ActOnClimate

An update from Styx forest defenders in court today — Bob & Colette have pled not guilty and their cases are adjourned until 5 July. Ali's case has been adjourned for judgement & sentencing tomorrow after spending two months in prison. #politas
Over 100ml of rain at Russell Vale, over 170ml of rain at Helensburgh, debris on the roads at Mt Kembla — how are the coal mines at these locations looking this morning? Who checks whether the settling ponds overflowed? Who takes samples from the creeks?

Can't wait for this satellite to expose all the coal and gas projects in Australia that have been underestimating their emissions for years.

Forest defender Brent Rogers has been arrested after attaching himself to logging machinery in the Styx Valley of the Giants. “The next generation is watching as the last stands of majestic eucalypts are being slaughtered.” #Politas

From the start of its pipeline, to its gasfield in the Pilliga, Santos' still-not-built Narrabri Gas Project faces unwavering community opposition.
It's time Santos gave up on this decade-old delusion.

The massive gas pipeline fire burning right now in Central QLD shows why no community or farmer should be forced to accept dangerous gas infrastructure near their homes.
