    When your emissions reduction minister pumps up one of Australia's largest fossil fuel companies at a global conference for tackling climate change, and lets them be centrepiece of your nation's display... Looks like the Simpsons predicted the future again! #COP26 #auspol

    The Prime Minister has this morning pledged $220m for the expansion of the forestry industry. Let’s be clear. Anything that increases the demand for native forests to be cut down = bad news for Australian wildlife and bad news for climate action. 🧵

    Approving three coal mines in 2024 is the opposite of climate action. And just weeks away from hosting a global summit on being 'Nature Positive'? It just doesn't stack up... @AlboMP @tanya_plibersek @BowenChris

    Update on our X suspension: ACF has now received a note from X Support with an apology and a brief explanation - that is - we were mistakenly flagged by their automated system as a spam account. 🧵

    1. Gas companies are big donors to federal politics. 2. The government pushes a policy that benefits the gas sector, but is not backed by science or economics. 3. We need to get corporate money out of politics. #4Corners #auspol

    It's moments like this that remind us why we do the work we do. Huge thanks to Nadia Watson from our fundraising team for capturing this adorable scene while out and about with her own family at the Prom in Victoria. Remember to slow down and stay vigilant if you're in wombat

    Ten years ago farmer George Cullinan spotted a weird bird on his property. Upon his death, three weeks ago, the 98-year-old left 91 hectares of conservation covenanted land as habitat for the critically endangered Plains-wanderer. 💚🙏
    A close-up shot of a bird with a yellow beak and patterned feathers.
    A sanctuary for one of Australia's rarest birds was a 98yo farmer's 'last gift'

    It’s been a crazy week at ACF HQ. This week, ACF’s X account fell victim to a worrying new trolling tactic: report bombing. So what is it, how is it impacting on the work of climate and environment organisations and threatening free speech? Our Engagement Director, @JaneClimate
