Just queued with around forty others to view a small, two bed, $520 a week rental in nipaluna/Hobart. It had serious black mould issues in multiple rooms, cracked windows and a garden in its gutters. Our housing system is failing us. #politas

As they returned to Parliament today, we called on our MPs to take real climate action. We need strong emissions reductions plans and targets across sectors and an end to logging our precious carbon sinks, our native forests. #politas

See you on Parliament Lawns today to call on our MPs to act for nature and climate! #politas

In today’s Mercury commenting on TCT’s open letter from twenty environment and climate groups to the Tasmanian Parliament calling for real climate action. #politas

As Parliament resumes, twenty environment and climate groups have banded together to call for real climate action. We need plans for emissions reductions across sectors and an end to the logging of our carbon-rich native forests. #politas

In today’s Mercury, I criticise the Tas Govt's scrapping of climate change as a ministry. This is not the change that Tasmanians voted for. The Govt must listen to the people, and put real emissions reductions at the top of the agenda when Parliament resumes. #politas

The Tas Govt's removal of climate change as a Ministry shows blatant disregard for the urgent need for climate action. It leaves us as the only state apart from QLD without a minister for climate change. This is not the change that Tasmanians so clearly voted for. #politas

Consultation on the Tas Govt’s transport sector emission reductions plan closes next Wednesday 29 November. Climate Tasmania’s submission calls for greater commitments to climate action through policies which decarbonise the transport sector. #politas climatetasmania.org/tasmania…

In today’s Mercury I criticise the Tas Govt for its lack of climate action in transport sector emissions reduction. In the plan, we need an emissions reduction target, public transport, EV purchase price incentives and electrification of buses. Subs open til Nov 29. #politas

Disasters are getting worse. Our communities can get better. Want to know how? Join myself and @WHGNE on Thursday 9 November, 12.30-1.30 AEDT, for a discussion centered around care. RSVP here: australiaremade.org/care-and…

The Tas Govt’s transport decarbonisation plans show lack of commitment to climate action. In the final plan emissions reduction target, more public buses, EV purchase incentives and electrification of heavy vehicles like buses needed. Submissions open til Nov 29. #politas

As we brace for a long hot summer this El Niño season, we need to approach disaster with CARE. Join us on Thursday 9 November, 12.30-1.30 AEDT to hear about Australia reMADE and @WHGNE's research. RSVP: australiaremade.org/care-and…

This El Niño season, we need a new model of disaster management which ensures that everyone can be cared for through disasters: that we all are SEEN, SAFE and SUPPORTED. Read Australia reMADE's new report here: australiaremade.org/care-dis…

Read the coverage of Climate Tasmania’s transport emissions reduction event in the Mercury today. themercury.com.au/news/tasma…

It was a full house this week at Climate Tasmania’s politics in the pub on transport as the next stop for climate action in lutruwita/Tasmania. We heard from a fantastic panel about the need for increased electrification, as well as public and active transport.
