Anthony Albanese has perfected the political sleight-of-hand that turns protection into permission. Bob Brown’s forensic analysis reveals Labor’s environmental legislation as corporate capitulation.

Part Four: “When ‘Historic Reform’ Means Managed Decline”
The final instalment: Did Labor’s environmental reform stop the degradation, or just slow it down enough to look serious while keeping the machinery of destruction functional? We measure the bill against Samuel’s recommendations, synthesise what every independent expert told us, and reveal the four-step pattern of how to manage environmental decline while calling it protection. This is policy capture in a democracy, not through corruption or conspiracy, but through the mundane mechanics of political calculation where industry interests outweigh both scientific advice and majority voter preference.
CLARKE & DAWE do Koalas and Coal
A deadpan Clarke & Dawe dialogue exposing the absurd machinery behind Australia’s love affair with coal, the bureaucratic disappearance of koalas, and a political system that “does not evolve, it thickens.” Dark, sharp, and painfully recognisable.
The Greens’ Genuine Wins, And The Corporate Capture Revealed
The Greens won real concessions on forests. But Labor still won’t consider whether new coal and gas should exist at all. This is how you manage environmental decline while calling it conservation.
The $9 Trillion Net Zero Lie: How the Coalition Turned Investment Into a Scare Campaign
When a political party starts throwing around numbers with more zeros than Peter Dutton had votes left in Dickson, you know you’re not getting economic analysis, you’re getting a con job. The Coalition’s $9 trillion net zero scare campaign is the latest instalment in a decades-long franchise of climate hysteria, from Whyalla’s promised obliteration to the $100 lamb roast that never arrived. But this time, the real cost is the one they never mention: the price Australians are already paying for a lost decade of delay, obstruction and weaponised ignorance.
THE FISH BOWL: HOW MURDOCH MEDIA AND MINING BILLIONS STRANGLED AUSTRALIA’S CLIMATE FUTURE
Malcolm Turnbull knows the Coalition is trapped in a “fact-free, reality-free culture war” over climate, dictated by Sky News and Murdoch media. He’s right—but what he won’t admit is that state capture extends to Labor too. While Turnbull points fingers at Coalition climate denialism, Labor quietly approves fossil fuel projects that dwarf the Coalition’s rhetoric. Australia is the world’s second-largest exporter of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions, and both major parties are drowning in mining money.
Labor’s Climate Mirage: Five Facts That Expose the Greenwash
You cannot reach net zero in 2050 while approving fossil fuel projects that operate until 2070. That’s a 20-year gap. That’s not nuance. That’s not balancing interests. That’s fraud.
Labor approved the Northwest Shelf extension until 2070. Among 30 other projects. All while claiming to take net zero seriously.
The math doesn’t lie. Labor does.
Advance Australia Where?
An investigation into how the group Advance, backed by mining billionaires and American consultants, is pushing the Liberal Party to abandon its Net Zero pledge.
The Great Gas Con
While the rest of the world races toward genuine emissions reduction, Australia’s gas giants are running a protection racket dressed up as climate policy. Santos, Woodside, Origin—the whole rotten crew have looked at net zero by 2050, nodded thoughtfully, then quietly opened the chequebook to expand the very projects that make the target impossible. This isn’t incompetence. It’s strategy.
Open Letter to Ms Sussan Ley and Mr David Littleproud
This is not just a policy backflip. This is an abdication of elected responsibility—a betrayal of trust that puts mining profits ahead of Australia’s climate future. The elders are watching, and we will not be silent.
