Tanya #Plibersek trashing what little was left of her reputation after her disastrous stint as Environment Minister. I doubt she imagined this future when she joing the #Labor party #auspol

Minister Plibersek must apologise for Sky News comments about advocacy groups

Yesterday the social services minister took to Sky News to make abhorrent remarks about civil society organisations representing single mothers, First Nations legal advocates and peak legal and social services bodies.

On Thursday, Plibersek said the events were “disappointing” but added the bill would return to the Senate in February and she hoped it would have support to pass.

It would seem that Labor needs to include the WA Premier in any future negotiations. #Plibersek clearly doesn’t have the authority to negotiate a deal.

Anthony Albanese insists environment laws still on agenda despite killing deal with Greens

PM overruled negotiations between environment minister and the Greens after speaking with WA premier last week

There are more dangerous snakes in the Parliament.

Sometimes, I hear of groups like LEAN and 'Left Labor' and they say things like:
It is better to work for change inside the Labor tent than to attack from the outside in The Greens.

Here, those inside Labor did *exactly* that, setting up an excellent result for the environment - and they went out to get #Greens support too. Good work!

Who shat on it?
Labor.

Next election? Choose to be ineffective inside Labor, or join The Greens, where the pushing the government can work to make things better. Tanya, yes, I really am looking at you. #plibersek #ALP

Plibersek had nature positive deal in writing before Albanese vetoed without her knowledge

Exclusive: Environment minister agreed detail with Greens but the PM intervened after lobbying from WA premier and miners

The environment minister, Tanya #Plibersek, has declared Australia will soon protect more ocean than any other country after the government finalises a more than 300,000 square kilometre expansion of a sub-Antarctic marine park.

‘Huge environmental win’: Australia to protect 52% of its oceans, more than any other country, Plibersek says

Sub-Antarctic marine park expansion welcomed but scientists say some areas important to penguins and seals missed out on sanctuary-level protection

It’s in her nature

@timrichards #Plibersek and #Labor are such a huge disappointment. Claiming that the approvals of new coal mines are “legal” exemplifies all that’s wrong with Labor. When we talk about action on global heating legality is such a low bar as to be meaningless. The majority of the 1.5C of global heating humanity has caused thus far has been legal. In order to do something meaningful requires courage and commitment and a desire not to hide behind weak justification for continuing the status quo. #Labor #auspol
Looking out at smoky skies, thinking of lost homes and devastated natural environments, and remembering that #Albanese and #Plibersek are doing their bit to make this disaster worse. I will never forgive them. #climatecrisis #auspol

- Fast track an uplisting of the species to ‘#CriticallyEndangered’ under #Australia ’s nature laws, as per the HSI and AMCS scientific nomination under this category in 2023.

We need your help to ask Federal Environment Minister Tanya #Plibersek to take action to urgently ensure the skate’s protection and recovery, and avoid losing this amazing Australian species forever.

Petition – Save the Maugean Skate – Shark Champion

We can’t, and won’t, let it become the ‘Tasmanian tiger’ of the sea.

The Maugean skate #population is rapidly declining, dropping up to 47% between 2014 and 2021. They are one extreme weather event away from extinction. We need to #ActNow. Federal Environment Minister Tanya #Plibersek has the power to protect this unique creature for years to come, by ensuring the following happens:

- Restore the health of #MacquarieHarbour so that oxygen levels are restored
