"In Australia we are all now being treated as children, quietened
Australians, most especially on the climate crisis. While the climate
crisis has become Australians’ number one concern, both major parties
play determinedly deaf and dumb on the issue while action and protest
about the climate crisis is increasingly subject to prosecution and
heavy sentencing.
In Tasmania, the Liberal government intends to legislate sentences of up
to 21 years – more than many get for murder – for environmental protest,
legislation typical of the new climate of authoritarianism that has
flourished under Morrison. As Australia burns, what we are witnessing
nationally is no more or less than the criminalisation of democracy in
defence of the coal and gas industries.
In this regard, the climate crisis is a war between the voice of coal
and the voice of the people. And that war is in Australia being won
hands down by the fossil fuel industry."
