Australian federal and state governments have approved a wave of fossil fuel developments over the past six weeks, sparking accusations Anthony Albanese and other leaders are “gaslighting” the public – claiming they take the climate crisis seriously while pushing up emissions.
Peter Dunn, a former commissioner of emergency services for the Australian Capital Territory, says the Albanese government is “trashing its integrity” and has “lost their licence to lead, days after the election”.
Dunn, a member of Emergency Leaders for Climate Action who lived through the 2003 Canberra bushfires and the catastrophic 2019 fires at Lake Conjola on the New South Wales south coast, is furious about the government’s decision to greenlight Woodside’s extension of the North West Shelf gas processing plant.
“I’m bloody angry, bitterly disappointed, and I see a government that I was really hopeful for doing great things trashing its integrity,” he says.

I’m glad we nuked Dutton. I’m not glad we ended up with Albanese and lost Bandt.
Current Labor is a right-wing party, they aren’t Centre-Left, they aren’t Centre and they aren’t even Centre-Right, they’re fully Right Wing now.
Same with the Canadian Liberals. A New bill was just put forward to introduce sweeping legislation that allows law enforcement extended abilities including opening people’s mail without a warrant, an obvious erosion of personal freedom. Along with adding more police and border security that isn’t needed. Enforcing questionable immigration laws and more. This is what we thought we were voting against just a short time ago.
It’s a world wide fascist takeover lead by the class war and we all have to somehow change our political parties and government systems completely at the same time. The people must rise up. Become engaged. Fight for ourselves and not be swayed by money or status.
Same thing in the UKs labour party too. Man, the stars align to get a labour party in only after it’s been gutted of what made it electable in the first place.

The class war likes when we are distracted with the made up social war.
