The Alternative Liberal Party under 鈥渃limate champion鈥 supports Australia maintaining its status as the . No surprise there,聽unfortunately.
Labor鈥檚 policy silence has officially been broken with leader Anthony Albanese鈥檚 Orwellian vision statement, 鈥淛obs and the Future of Work鈥, in which he seeks to spells out how Australia can confront the climate crisis and ramp up coal and gas export.
In a 40-minute interview with the Guardian, federal 鈥渙pposition鈥 leader Anthony Albanese's arguments for Labor鈥檚 serial capitulation to the Coalition government were weak, inconsistent and based on a fool鈥檚 reading of political reality.
Barely had we digested the news of the unexpected Coalition victory when the corporate media commentators and a number of senior party leaders were blaming Labor鈥檚 election loss for it being too left-wing 鈥 鈥渢oo ambitious鈥, 鈥渁 large target鈥 and 鈥渂it off more than it could chew鈥.
School Strike 4 Climate activists walked out of school and rallied outside the offices of Labor and Liberal politicians on May 3.
Hundreds of people marched through Newtown, Sydney, against Adani鈥檚 proposed Carmichael mega coalmine in Queensland鈥檚 Galilee Basin, on February 17.

Parliament resumed on August 30 and the government's agenda was simple: delay marriage equality; justify the double dissolution; and argue the case for a renewed assault on living standards 鈥 I mean: 鈥渂udget repair鈥.
The 鈥渂udget repair鈥 project was contained in a centrepiece 鈥渙mnibus鈥 bill that combines 24 measures from this year's budget that have not yet passed the Senate. It is an attack on students, welfare recipients, ordinary workers and the environment.
With polls showing growing support for the Greens and independents, the powers-that-be and their media hacks are becoming increasingly hysterical.
For the 1% and their supporters, the prospect of the July 2 double dissolution election delivering a hung parliament is the worst of all possible worlds. Uncertainty threatens their profit margins and means political and economic chaos 鈥 a nightmare for the ruling class that has had it so good for so long.
91自拍论坛 Weekly is marking its 25th anniversary this week, which is a truly remarkable achievement for an independent paper without corporate funding 鈥 and one that could not be achieved without a lot of hard work over many years by more people than could be named.
