Going live now Transforming Australia from Laggard to Leader #COP26Glasgow

Up now is @LowitjaInstitut @JanineMilera

Discussing the discussion paper prepared by @LowitjaInstitut lowitja.org.au/page/services/…

Calling for Climate Justice that learns from the past and does not perpetuate current inequities, the @LowitjaInstitut discussion paper highlights case studies where climate change is impacting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and wellbeing

Next speaker, Jacquie ... Sorry missed her last name

Gavin McF from ACF is up next. Draws attention to domestic pressure occuring in lead up to #COP26Glasgow including by BCA, the NFF and others who have made commitments and set targets. Mentions potential to reach at least 35%
States far more nimble and ambitious than Cth.

Australia has opportunity to be a clean energy super power
Cannot excuse federal inaction
There is a lot happening via states and business

Next speaker Virginia from ANU ... Indigenous water security. Call for First Nations leadership and Indigenous knowledges supporting Western science ... Working with young people ... Healing society... Role of law ...A bill of Rights and Voice Treaty and Truth

Pastor Ray Minniecon, acknowledges the Scottish TOs ... Calls out #auspol as hypocrites (alluding to displays by Santos etc). It's not my visíon of Australia. And Indigenous people are always at the forefront of these risks ... Resources extraction ...

We want a better say. We don't want to be patronised. We don't want paternalism. Listen to and watch or observe who the #auspol are listening too .
It's not us ... Or me (it's business).

Lots of discussion and now I'm too engrossed ... Some cracking remarks and strategies. Please watch the replay!

A last word from Ritchie who I missed at the beginning is we can all take action by electrifying everything. Not only does that take out petrol and gas etc it can eventually save families a lot of money.
