25.01.2022 Day 3: 100 survey responses thus far! ....and over 50 comments How about you? Tell us what matters to YOU!... Geelong Community Survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TBL6F3Y . . . A group of Geelong and Bellarine residents has created a short survey to hear your feedback about the progress of the City of Greater Geelong across a range of issues, especially in relation to Council's Clever and Creative Vision. The aim of the survey is to gather and present the community’s priorities and concerns to all candidates nominating for the upcoming Council elections in October. Results of the survey will be shared with everyone who completes the survey and then, in October, a scorecard of all election candidates assessed against the community’s priorities as identified by the survey will be sent to you as well. Please have your say. This is a great way for your views to be shared with current Councillors and election candidates to show them what the community wants them to focus on. And it will be an important means to help assess which candidates will act on the community's top priorities. So far, five organisations have endorsed the survey. If you work with an organisation, you could suggest that it endorses and supports the survey by recommending it to employees and members in your next newsletter.

19.01.2022 Dirty Power: Burnt Country - Q&A with the Investigation and Film making team "Join Greenpeace's investigations team as we talk all things Dirty Power: Burnt Country - our new documentary that uncovers the links between Australia's catastrophic bushfires, the fossil fuel industry's power over of our government, and the public discourse surrounding climate change - followed by a Q&A with the team! The panel will include creative campaigner Ella Colley, filmmaker Kim Nguyen, an...d Nikola Casule, head of research and investigations! RSVP to receive the webinar link and secure your spot. This summer, Australia suffered a climate catastrophe manifested in the extreme bushfires that tore through homes and wildlife. Australia mourns 33 lives lost, 2,500 homes destroyed, a fifth of the country’s forests burned to ash, and 1.25 billion animals killed. From the scorched landscapes and devastated communities arose the overwhelming scientific consensus that the catastrophic fires were fuelled by climate changeand that Australia needs to transition away from fossil fuels to protect livelihoods and crucial habitat. Yet, meaningful climate action from our government has yet to be seen. Why is Australia so paralysed when it comes to climate policy? Now, a team of Greenpeace scientists and investigators will dig deep into the power that the fossil fuel industry has over our government and the public discourse surrounding climate change. Join the Greenpeace team in this investigation as they sift through a growing body of evidence, uncover shocking new information, and reveal some deeply inconvenient truths. Dirty Power: Burnt Country will transform the way Australians understand the political intrigue that ultimately affects their lives as the effects of climate change arrive at their doorsteps."

17.01.2022 In Australia, just a handful of companies are responsible for the majority of our emissions. Together, we can force them to take action. By pressuring our bigg...est, most polluting companies to move to renewable energy sooner, we could cut Australia’s carbon footprint, tackle climate change and prevent more catastrophic climate impacts like drought and bushfires.

17.01.2022 Survey discloses community’s hopes for municipality’s next Council With close to 400 responses so far, and with extensive comments being made, the Geelong Commu...nity Survey has had a strong kick-off. The survey closes on Saturday 22 August. Take the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TBL6F3Y . . . Survey will inform Council candidates about the community’s opinion Youth and northern suburbs are underrepresented so far Survey report expected to become an election hot topic The survey results are already providing strong messages and valuable data for candidates running for the upcoming Council elections about the community’s priorities. The questions and answers relate to the priorities of the Clever and Creative 30-year vision for Geelong Region, and they seek to measure the community’s level of satisfaction or frustration with the progress Council is making on the vision. Ocean Grove and Bellarine residents stand out as the municipality’s hot spot engagement area so far, showing in numbers and comments their passion about Local Government issues. We need the community’s help to get more responses from the northern suburbs of Geelong, and from the youth, said survey spokesperson and co-initiator Sanja Van Huet: We really would like to hear their voices to ensure the survey is representative of the entire City of Greater Geelong residents. We can see that young people under the age of 35 have different views from older age groups on a range of issues thus far, but we need more responses from this age group to be sure this is significant. Broad endorsements The survey has been endorsed by eight local organisations: ADAC, Australian Parents for Climate Action Geelong & Bellarine, Barwon Heads Association, Geelong Environment Council, Geelong Sustainability, Humans in Geelong, Ocean Grove Community Association, and Transition Streets Geelong. This general level of response is excellent given the impact of Covid-19 on our lives. It is much stronger than the responses Council receives to many of its ‘Have your Say’ community engagement processes. It shows the importance of community members engaging and encouraging their friends and neighbours to participate in our local democracy, Sanja Van Huet said. Having your say and your voice heard is an important part of participating in democracy. I hope more people from across Geelong will have their say, especially young people and people living in the northern suburbs of Geelong. Questions to Council election candidates The results of the survey will be summarised and shared with all respondents and candidates running for City of Greater Geelong elections in October. We hope the information will help the next councillors to understand and represent community views on issues, and that candidates will be scrutinised according to their responses to the issues identified by this survey, Van Huet said.

17.01.2022 Marsh helped write The Global Risks Report 2020 presented at the World Economic Forum earlier this year -- a report that highlights climate change related risks like extreme weather as the biggest long term threats we are all facing. And yet Marsh continue to scout the world, trying to find a company willing to insure Adani’s risky climate-wrecking coal mine. This is hypocrisy on a grand scale. On 19 May, join #StopAdani for a huge online rally: ... "Let's pressure Marsh to walk their talk and dump Adani right before their Annual General Meeting" 3,000 have signed up so far.

17.01.2022 Send the EPA an OVERDUE Notice - Environment Victoria It has been almost THREE YEARS since the EPA, Victoria’s pollution watchdog, began their coal power station licence review. Now it has stalled without explanation. It’s not good enough. Send them an OVERDUE NOTICE demanding they come clean by Nov 1, 2020. https://environmentvictoria.org.au//send-the-epa-an-overdu

11.01.2022 Well said Sandi - Many people really like the different truth u refer to here. That’s the world in which I want to see my 5 grandkids grow up. Not one where they are continually concerned about their survival. #ASaferMoreJustInclusiveandHealthyWorld

10.01.2022 New coal power capacity has fallen sharply in the region as renewables become more competitive, finds report Eventually, the Adani mine and all the other coal mines being planned will become economic disasters - and a huge waste of public funds. https://www.chinadialogue.net//11624-Southeast-Asia-turnin... #StopAdani

10.01.2022 Add your name to this petition against the changes to the Green Spine in Malop Street if you disagree with Geelong Council’s decision It is crazy to me that Geelong Council can make a decision to rip up Malop Street Green Spine Project based on a vote of 11 people (6v5 in favor) and create a cost of $2 million. This decision should be a community one. Not a decision of 11. ~ Anne Lane... #DemandBetter #GeelongGreenSpine #CyclingGeelong #ZeroCarbonGeelong #ZeroCarbonRevolution #AllForClimate #WeCanDoBetter

09.01.2022 Murray Energy, the largest privately held coal company in the United States, filed for bankruptcy protection this past Tuesday now the eighth coal company to ...do so in the past year. The collapse of Murray Energy comes as the demand for coal continues to drop. The Australians are fossil fools to be thinking this industry has a future, and that taxpayers' money should be wasted on subsidising new infrastructure for it. #StopAdani https://www.nytimes.com//ene/murray-energy-bankruptcy.html
