On Gadigal land, outside the office of Australia's federal Environment Minister @TanyaPlibersek's office, with a large group of school students and their allies, demanding the Australian government #EndFossilFuelSubsidies and commit to #NoNewFossilFuels. #SS4C

All of us can help #ShiftThePower away from #DirtyEnergy:
- Stop repeating their talking points & narratives (not sure which commonly-repeated tropes are part of their decades-long #ClimateDisinformation campaign? Never too late to learn)
- Stop voting for their paid representatives in parliament (typically found within both/most major parties). #DirtyEnergyDirtyPolitics #DirtyDonations #PutCorruptionLast
- Support actions happening near you (not sure what's happening or how to help? Search for your location & #ClimateAction #ClimateJustice).
- Learn more about why we're collectively still failing to implement (political/economic/societal/cultural) changes at a scale & pace commensurate with the scale & pace of the #ClimateCrisis (hint: too much power in too few hands: #plutocracy #colonialism #capitalism #patriarchy #individualism).
- Consider the stakes: life as we know it is incompatible with the public business plans of the most powerful corporations on the planet. One/both of those realities will definitely change. Will you?

Berejiklian's disgraced deputy #JohnBarilaro (who also resigned due to #corruption allegations) boasted of such behaviour, both in parliament, where he claims to have been speaking ironically/sarcastically, and in recently revealed audio of meetings with supporters where it is clear he is proudly admitting to the practice.

NSW ICAC is yet to publish its findings with regards to Berejiklian. However, since these allegations relate to the misuse of public funds, then it would be odd if this investigation did not also implicate her then treasurer, since any funding would have needed to have been signed off by him.

Who was Berejiklian's treasurer?

Current NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet, currently two days out from potential re-election.

Yet #ICAC have had to delay their report into Berejiklian, due to budgetary constraints limiting the pace of their investigations.

Given the significance of the work ICAC does, how did it come to be underfunded? That would be due to budget cuts by (checks notes) #GladysBerejiklian and her treasurer, #DominicPerrottet.
