✍️ ADD YOUR NAME: Phase out fossil fuels
Emissions reduction targets won’t solve the climate crisis if they’re built on fiction. It's time for the government to tackle the biggest source of carbon emissions in Australia – fossil fuels.

Hegseth also removed the olive branches, a traditional symbol of wishing peace, from the Department of Defense seal.
This, in addition to changing the name to "The Department of War," shows the dangerous belligerency that comes from appointing a frat bro who values testosterone over statesmanship.

ANALYSIS: The Liberals and Greens appear to be heading in the same direction
Albanese promised to be "the adult in the room" and govern from the centre. But is that still the political mood as we enter the last part of 2026?
