Woodside’s Browse would be a disaster: ACF
In response to Woodside’s new report touting the supposed economic benefits of its proposed Browse gas project, which is still being assessed for its environmental impact, the Australian Conservation Foundation’s CEO Adam Bandt said: “Economically and environmentally, Woodside’s Browse proposal is a disaster that should be stopped in its tracks. “This is big gas greed, and people and nature will pay the price. “Exported coal and gas comes back to Australia as heatwaves, bushfires, floods and coral bleaching. There can be no new coal or gas mines if we’re to tackle the climate crisis. “The gas industry makes big profits…

Mali’s decision to rehire Multinational company Serco a slap in the face to true believers
Today’s decision by theMalinauskas Government to rehire international prison company Serco to run the Adelaide Remand Centre (ARC) is a betrayal of every volunteer who handed out to re-elect them only a month ago, says the Public Service Association of South Australia. The Labor Party has always opposed the privatisation of precious public services, so the Malinauskas Government’s decision today to keep the ARC in private hands after it was privatised by the Marshall Liberal Government in 2019 flies in the face of everything the party stands for. The contract expires in August and the Malinauskas Government was expected to…

‘Self-serving tosh’: Woodside’s Browse gas would derail energy transition and wreck Scott Reef
SYDNEY, Monday 11 May 2026 — Greenpeace Australia Pacific has branded Woodside’s Browsegas report released to media today as being “so ludicrous it reads like satire” and a dangerous distraction from the urgent action needed to save Scott Reef and address soaring emissions. The report states Woodside’s Browse offshore gas drilling project at Scott Reef would have no impact on Western Australia’s net zero targets, as the state was on track to miss them anyway. Hannah Schuch, Senior Campaigner at Greenpeace Australia Pacific, said: “Woodside’s report is so ludicrous it reads like satire. It is nothing but the self-serving tosh…

60,000 Support at Home Packages needed: CHA
Catholic Health Australia (CHA) is calling on the Commonwealth Government to fund up to 60,000 additional Support at Home packages in the 2026-27 Budget to address a growing aged care waitlist that could see 200,000 older Australians waiting for care by June 2027. In its pre-budget submission, CHA warned the lack of care packages is pushing older Australians into higher-cost hospital and residential care settings. "The government’s commitment to Support at Home is being undermined by insufficient funding for the packages older Australians desperately need," said Alex Lynch, Director of Aged Care at Catholic Health Australia. "Many of our parents,…

Big Tobacco tax cut would hand multinational tobacco companies a $2.3 billion windfall
A 50 percent cut to tobacco customs duties would hand multinational tobacco companies an estimated windfall worth around $2.3 billion annually, according to the Public Health Association of Australia (PHAA). Adjunct Professor Terry Slevin, the association’s CEO, says the new estimates reinforce the need for governments to remain strong against intense tobacco industry lobbying – an issue that was put in the spotlight last week during Senate inquiry hearings into illegal tobacco. “At a time when 66 Australians die every day from tobacco-related disease, the tobacco industry appeared before the senate inquiry hearing arguing for cheaper cigarettes and a tax…
