25.01.2022 Don't forget! The Great Forest Case hearing begins on Wednesday The Bob Brown Foundation has launched a legal case challenging the regulation of native forest logging. The case will argue that the Tasmanian Regional Forest Agreement (RFA) is not a valid agreement. They want to strike down the RFA as it is not protecting any endangered species. This is the best chance in a generation to stop native forest logging in Tasmania and potentially the rest of Australia.... Key Points: The Great Forest Case aims to end native forest logging in Tasmania and potentially the rest of Australia. Tasmania’s iconic wildlife including the Swift Parrot, Masked Owl, Tasmanian Wedge-tailed Eagle, Tasmanian Devil and Giant Freshwater Crayfish, is seriously under threat from native forest logging. Regional Forest Agreements are outdated & notoriously inadequate for protecting threatened species. They have left a trail of destruction in Australia’s native forests and are pushing species into extinction. The time for logging Australia’s wildlife-filled and carbon-rich native forests is up.

24.01.2022 "new net zero pledges for 2050-2060 keep on coming and even more countries begin closer considerations of new targets, it must seem to Australia’s federal leadership that the world is moving away from their own position very, very fast"

24.01.2022 "Changes in fire activity are putting at risk more than 4,400 species across the globe, says a new paper led by the University of Melbourne, involving 27 international researchers."

18.01.2022 "The Victorian government has backed an upper house motion in parliament calling for a big build of renewable energy projects ahead of the upcoming state budget." "It's the first time an Australian state or territory has formally endorsed a "Green New Deal", a term popularised in recent times after a proposal of the same name was voted down in US Congress last year."

14.01.2022 Australia's climate is continuing to warm, and may be doing so at a faster rate than we had previously thought. Today, the CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology have... released their State of the Climate 2020 report, which confirms what we already knew: Australia is already experiencing devastating impacts of climate change, including an increase in the frequency of extreme heat events and more dangerous fire weather. But, the report shows that things could be heating up quicker than we originally thought. The situation could not be more urgent - the science says we absolutely must reduce our greenhouse gas emissions as quickly as possible, or these impacts will only continue to worsen. As the sunniest and one of the windiest countries in the world, Australia has even more of an incentive to decarbonise our economy and switch to renewables. We don’t have any time to waste.

13.01.2022 "We’ve always considered climate change to be a huge threat to our region, and it is something we must take immediate action on"

13.01.2022 $11 million for salvage logging in the new government budget.... Do voters know they are paying for their native forests to be logged? the tall native forests around the Rubicon Valley, Snob’s Creek Valley and Kinglake have been systematically cleared. Warburton and parts of East Gippsland have taken a pounding as well. Much of the wood goes to the Maryvale pulp mill Since the Andrews government came to power over 20,000 hectares of native forests, primary native forest has been cleared

12.01.2022 This is astounding. In four years we’ve multiplied our renewables installation rate by four (from about 1.3 gigawatts per year in 2016 to 6.5GW in 2020). This puts us on track to achieve 50 per cent renewable electricity by 2025. If we doubled that rate again, we could be 100 per cent renewable. Let me repeat that. A hundred per cent. Renewable. In five years.

12.01.2022 "On November 24, Ms Ley ruled against the clearing of 1840 hectares on Kingvale Station, under the federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act." "if the Newman government had been given the approval rights that are now being considered for state governments, Kingvale’s additional 1840 hectares would have been cleared and several endangered species threatened." "So it is a perfect example of why we needed federal oversight of national environment laws"

11.01.2022 Steve Meacher's activism and work has given heart to environmentalists around the country Having gathered the evidence of their presence in sections of forest set aside for logging, Meacher and the Friends launched a legal action against Victoria’s state-owned logging corporation, VicForests, asserting that it was breaking federal environmental laws with its operations in critical habitats.

04.01.2022 A rushed Senate inquiry into the controversial changes delivered four reports late Friday, with Labor, the Greens and a crossbench group all confirming their opposition. The government had gagged debate to push the legislation through the lower house a move that outraged the Greens and Labor.
