Today, the NSW Independent Planning Commission approved the largest coal project in the state's history, in a move Lock The Gate called "catastrophic system failure".

We need an urgent full, fast, fair and funded phase-out of planet killing coal, oil and gas, and an end to the billions of dollars the duopoly gives in fossil fuel subsidies.

The Greens-led senate inquiry into intergenerational housing inequity spent 6 months hearing evidence on Australia's housing crisis. Final report, published today, shows dire need for the government to stop shirking responsibility & act. Public housing, rent caps & affordable mortgages.
