22.01.2022 My trip to support the protection of the Pilliga (Billiga) forest, See below, photos I took of the largest remaining native inland forest in Australia, a vital ...water sink to the Great Artesian Basin and important water catchment for the Murray Darling Basin. I went to the Billiga this week to connect with the land and the people, and to reinforce my responsabilties and obligations to protect water. We must protect.the forests if we are to protect our water security and climate stability. Cooperation Is The Key !!



20.01.2022 This week SA banned single use plastics Something we need to tackle in NSW. We need to stay strong on reducing plastic as the oil industry, under reduced dem...and, sees petrochemicals as their future. Plastic is a large emitter of CO2 into the environment. Consider not only the production of it, but the recycling and collection also. Recycling is complex and expensive, so we also need to look at plastic alternatives and better packaging The best way to deal with waste is to avoid producing it in the first place and those who generate waste should be responsible for its full life cycle.

18.01.2022 Some good news! The Senate has agreed to a Greens motion to establish an inquiry into media diversity, following Kevin Rudd’s record-breaking petition. Australians are rightly concerned about the concentration of Murdoch's media ownership and undue political influence.

17.01.2022 The last six months has proven just how much we need ICAC in exposing corruption. Which is why I’m proud to stand with my colleagues Jamie Parker MP and David S...hoebridge in moving amendments to the NSW Parliamentary Budget to ensure ICAC gets the funding it needs to protect our democracy. Stay tuned! See more



17.01.2022 HELP SAVE BLINKY BILL! Contact Catherine Cusack... Debate in the Upper House of NSW Parliament on the Local Land Services Amendment Bill (2020) has been deferred (it has already passed the Legislative Assembly). The Bill will: - Freeze protections for core koala habitat to five Councils which have completed their Koala Plans of Management, meaning many Councils that want to protect core koala habitat in their LGA won’t be able to -Remove the ability for Councils and Environm...ental Planning Instruments to prohibit, require development consent for or otherwise restrict forestry operations on private land. The bill also doubles the duration of Private Native Forestry (PNF) plans from 15 years to 30 years and ignores the fact a two-year Review into PNF is still underway -Lift restrictions on land zoned ‘environmental protection’ meaning more koala habitat on private land will be cleared, with no environmental oversight -And much more! This new Koala SEPP was supposed to increase protections for koalas. Instead, the Liberals have thrown Blinky Bill and all of his mates under the bulldozers with this bill which is a massive step backwards for koala protection in NSW. Under the 1994 Koala SEPP, Councils were slowly developing their Koala Plans of Management and then protecting mapped core koala habitat. Now the new Koala SEPP will provide no protection to newly mapped core koala habitat. The Bill might be back on Thursday (tomorrow), amendments are likely and an inquiry possible too. Catherine Cusack is threatening to cross the floor according to this news report (https://www.facebook.com/7NEWSsydney/videos/1083593165426532) - a call ((02) 9230 2915) or email ([email protected]) of support to her if you have the chance!

16.01.2022 Late last night the Upper House voted to 'disallow' a regulation that the National Party Water Minister snuck in by the stroke of her pen in February this year,... which would have legalised the practice of harvesting floodplain waters. This is great news. In February, massive amounts of rain should have flowed all the way down the dying Darling-Baaka River and Lake Menindee, but instead the Minister allowed powerful cotton irrigators in the northern basin to harvest this water - hundreds of gigalitres of it for free. I'm about to launch a campaign for full transparency about how much water is taken in the northern NSW part of the Murray-Darling basin, and for the Darling-Baaka, Menindee Lakes, the Macquarie Marshes and downstream communities to be given their fair share of this water. Harvesting of floodplain water must be licensed and monitored, but we can't allow the levels that are harvested now, because it will spell the end of the Darling-Baaka River.

16.01.2022 Approval for the Narrabri gas project will say goodbye to any hope of an effective climate policy and usher in an expanding national gas industry with a rise in emissions and untold direct damage to the sustainability of this drying continent.

15.01.2022 from Cate: Thousands and thousands of emails, hundreds of phone calls, dozens of protests - koalas were under threat and you leapt into action. And it's working! I emailed you with breaking news that the koala-killing Local Land Services Bill could be voted on in the Upper House that day and asked you to phone key MPs urging them to block the bill. Well, guess what? As the day wore on it became clear that a growing number of government MPs had serious concerns about the bill.... Make no mistake. Without your actions over the last few weeks, this bill would have sailed through the parliament and made it easier for koala habitat to be cleared across the state. Thanks to you and thousands like you sounding the alarm, there is now a massive pushback within the government over the Nats disgraceful attempts to introduce laws that will push koalas even closer towards extinction. So what next? I'm going live on social media this afternoon with an update on where things are at and how we can win this. Join me See more

15.01.2022 The Federal Government wants to push through legislation to use Australia's clean energy bodies, ARENA and the CEFC, to invest in dirty gas and unproven carbon capture and storage. Solar Citizens are hosting an online rally with Independent Zali Steggall and cross-bench MPs to build the pressure to block this dodgy legislation in Parliament, Monday 28th September 12:30 - 1:30 You can learn more and RSVP to the rally here: https://www.solarcitizens.org.au/online_rally_save_arena_an



14.01.2022 Evidence suggesting the proposed Narrabri coal seam gas development could have a greater impact on groundwater than previously believed has not been considered by authorities due to a strict approval timeframe imposed by the New South Wales government, activists say.

12.01.2022 The government’s energy roadmap is as a cover for an expansion of major fossil fuel projects, subsidising the coal and gas cartels from the public purse. The m...ining, burning and exporting of coal, oil and gas are the biggest causes of the climate crisis. Across the country, people are crying out for a transformative shift to clean energy, and the hundreds of thousands of jobs it will create. We’ll fight the Liberals’ energy plans in parliament, and we’ll fight for a clean energy future.

12.01.2022 Public money should be going to building clean energy, schools, and hospitals, not fast tracking the climate collapse. We need to fight the PM's #gaslitrecovery with everything we've got.

11.01.2022 CORRECTION: in our Submission to the NSW Independent Planning Commission, we mistakenly stated that Santos gas should have assessed for barium and boron in the crystallised brine waste in accordance with the NSW Waste Classification Guidelines. We said in its environmental impact statement for the Narrabri coal seam gas project Santos Gas should have assessed for barium and boron in the toxicity characteristics leaching procedure (TCLP) test values for waste classification ...using the Measurable properties of waste table. This is incorrect and was the result of a misreading of the NSW Waste Classification Guidelines Step 4. The TCLP test in Step 4 excludes Aluminium, barium, boron, chromium (0 and III oxidation states). We understood the oxidisation exclusion to refer to all the foregoing substances (i.e. aluminium, barium, boron and chromium). However, the oxidisation states exemption ONLY applies to chromium. Barium and boron are two substances detected in the Pilliga aquifer leak at elevated levels. Santos was fined for the uranium leak by the EPA. This is why we consider it is unreasonable not to test the concentrated fracking brine crystals for boron and barium (among other substances). Accordingly we agree with UNSW's Professor Stuart Khan's submission that the NSW Waste Classification Guidelines are "not fit for purpose" to reliably assess the safety of landfilling the crystallised brine.

09.01.2022 AIRPORT DEAL LANDS $32.8 MILLION FOR LIBERAL DONOR Meanwhile back at the farm ... The Age has reported the Commonwealth purchased land next to the Western Sydne...y Airport from Liberal Party donors for $32.8 million. Less than a year later the government valued it at $3 million. Tony and Ron Perich's Leppington Pastoral Company are now leasing the land back from the Commonwealth based on another valuation of less than $1 million, a deal which also requires the government to build a $10 million underpass to the property. https://www.theage.com.au//they-reviewed-themselves-new-in The chairman of the Centre for Public Integrity, former NSW Supreme Court judge Anthony Whealy QC, was quoted in the Age as saying the purchase highlighted the need for a federal anti-corruption commission while an MP says it "fails the integrity test". Fortunately for all concerned the officials who made the purchase cleared themselves of any wrongdoing last year. But the auditor-general said "there was no indication that any officer from outside the Western Sydney Unit had participated in the conduct of the review." "Those people who were charged with acting unethically then conducted a review into themselves and found they acted appropriately," he said. Mr Whealy said that was extraordinary. There is no suggestion, and the auditor-general's report does not allege, the Perich family's donations to the Liberal party influenced the sale of the land.

02.01.2022 Next Tuesday, NSW Government Ministers will meet to decide crucial guidelines underpinning the new planning policy to protect koala habitat (Koala SEPP). Rest assured, the Nats will come at it with everything they’ve got to weaken what little protections for koala habitat there is.
