Important times in the @AboutTheHouse as we proceed through the consideration in details stage of the Climate Change Bill. #auspol
@Mon4Kooyong has moved an amendment to strengthen the objects of the Climate Change Bill to ensure the goal of the Paris Agreement of keeping warming to +1.5. #climateaction
✅ Amendment moved by @zdaniel to Climate Change Bill to ensure 43% emissions reduction by 2030 is clearly a floor, not a ceiling passed!👍 #auspol
@MakeMayoMatter moving and supporting amendments by @helenhainesindi (absent due to Covid) to ensure advice to govt by climate change authority considers impacts & needs of rural & regional Australia. #auspol
@SophieScamps has received assurances from @Bowenchris that climate impacts & targets will form part of Innovation Industry & Science considerations. #auspol #climateaction
@WilkieMP moving amendments to increase targets to Net zero by 2035. Whilst I agree that we need to be more ambitious & address our export emissions, I support a sensible accelerating transition that ensures all sectors & communities can prosper through the transition. #auspol
Forgot to say amendment proposed by @ChaneyforCurtin who is unfortunately in Covid iso. We have all worked together with the Minister to improve the legislation. #independents #auspol
@AdamBandt also moving to amend targets to 75% by 2030 & Net zero by 2035. I just don’t believe these targets are achievable. My 5 Steps to Net Zero plan shows how we can achieve 60% emissions reduction by 2030. We need to build consensus. 🌏 #auspol
@spenderallegra amendment to s.12 to ensure govt reports on progress in reducing emissions in all policies and sectors. We need clear plans across all sectors to ensure a sensible transition to Net zero. #auspol
@KyleaTink moving amendment to increase transparency to parliament by requiring the Minister to table Climate Change Authority advice in parliament. Accountability and transparency matter. Coalition voting against!🙄 #auspol
✅ I am moving amendment to s.15 to ensure that when our Govt puts forward a new Nationally Determined Contribution pursuant to the Paris Agreement, it must first seek advice of the Climate Change Authority. Our NDC targets must be informed by science, not just politics.#auspol
@EWatsonBrown moving amendment to s.15 to ensure Climate Change Authority advice must include how targets have taken into account temperature goals of the Paris Agreement.🌏#climateaction #auspol
✅ The Climate Change bill passes the House 89-55! It’s vip to lock in to law Net Zero.🙏 to everyone who supported the Climate Change Bill that I presented in the last parliament.🙏 to @Bowenchris & the govt for engaging collaboratively on this important legislation.🎉🌏#auspol

🧵Right now Australia is battling a ‘multi-demic’ of respiratory viruses, including the flu, RSV, para-influenza, adenovirus and HMPV.


Today in NSW alone there are 133,272 active cases of Covid.
#CovidIsNotOver
1/4
With our immune systems weakened by 2 years of lockdown restrictions, and new more transmissible strains of the virus, we need to get back in the habit of wearing a mask, especially in crowded or shared spaces.

#MaskUp
🧵2/4
Mask wearing gives us a shot at preventing lockdowns so our kids can go to school, our workplaces & businesses can stay open, our gigs, special events and holidays can go ahead, & our hospitals can better cope with this wave of respiratory illnesses + new #COVID19 strains.

🧵Statement on PM Albanese's proposal for drastic crossbench staff cuts👇
#auspol
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has shown a damning display of poor judgement today with his drastic proposal that personal staff for crossbenchers be cut from four to just one. 🧵>
It shows the Prime Minister has no respect or appreciation for the work the Crossbench members did in the 46th Parliament. Consistently, it was the crossbench that brought forward significant alternative policies and held the Government to account. 🧵>

The PM and his Government say a vote for the independents is a vote for chaos. More chaotic than the Parliament under his leadership? Here’s my thoughts:
🧵 1/6

#auspol #warringahvotes
1. There can be significant benefits to power-sharing arrangements. Communities get more say on what the government might do, and generally speaking the crossbench is more interested in transparency and accountability than the government ever is. 🧵 2/6

#auspol
2. Independents work for their local communities in a way major party MPs often do not. Independents don’t join ministerial ranks, which means they don’t use their backbench role as a self-interested springboard to higher office the way major party MPs often do. 🧵 3/6

Australia was just singled out as a climate "holdout" by UN secretary General @antonioguterres . It's rare to see him single a country out like this. What does he mean? 🧵⬇️
👏 Many G20 developed economies have announced meaningful #emissionsreduction targets for 2030.
👎 Not Australia. Scott Morrison still took Tony Abbott's 26-28% emissions target to COP26. This targets is 6 years old.
🥵The COP26 conference was focussed on improved 2030 targets and a rapid phaseout of coal (by 2030). Australia refused, making us a loner among developed countries & a "holdout" on climate.

😡Past 11pm, still debating the Religious Discrimination Bill, ALP MPs trying to explain why they have decided to support the Coalition’s bad legislation, that will still be bad even if amended. Protecting some to lawfully discriminate against others!🤮#voteindependent #auspol
Amendments only try to protect students & teachers. What about an unwed mother nurse or director of a faith affiliated nursing home for example, whose employment can then be lawfully terminated under pry 2 because it’s “against the ethos & teachings”of a religion?
As noted by the Law Council, the definition of “religious body” should be limited to a body “established for religious purposes”. The definition is so broad, it provides the right to discriminate on the basis of religious ethos & teachings for a very broad range of organisations.

.@JasonFalinskiMP & @TimWilsonMP scrambling: either they don’t know how to read a legislation or they are just misleading? Fact: Commission to make recommendations to Govt and then report to Aus public on how Govt plan is delivering. Is the issue being held to account? #auspol
Pressure coming their way: see breakdown of support per electorate and State at ClimateActNow.com.au I am sure all these people will remember at the next election. Share widely to anyone you know in Mackellar and Melbourne, party politics is putting Aus at risk. #ClimateActNow
Everyone in Mackellar that is worried about Climate Change, @DaveSharma is running the same line! The party machine is scrambling. Business, Industry, State and Territory govts - everyone knows we need to plan for Net Zero by 2050. #auspol
