There is a complete absence of WTE regulatory emission standards in NSW to the extent that European standards are being applied in all development applications. The application of these European standards may not in all circumstances be sufficiently adequate to protect the health and wellbeing of resident communities.

A Clean Recovery will make energy cleaner and cheaper, and create more jobs than dangerous fossil fuels like methane gas. Australia can be a clean energy superpower, proudly exporting energy from our wind, waves and sun. We can power our businesses and homes with solar, make our houses more affordable and energy efficient, and restore the natural landscapes we love. To make it a reality, we need widespread support from key politicians and community members across the country. Sign the petition for clean, affordable energy and climate-friendly jobs for people across the country.

There are many needy people and charities who would greatly appreciate being given this perfectly good food. It is environmentally irresponsible to be unnecessarily adding such vast amounts to landfill.

The purpose of the act would be to hold politicians to an enforceable standard of behaviour. At a time when we have witnessed appalling behaviour by politicians globally it is time that we insist on a set of standards similar to those required of company directors. The Corporations Act identifies four areas of behaviour for directors - Care and Diligence, Good Faith, Not to Improperly use their Position and Not to Improperly use Information. To not require politicians to meet at least the same standards required of directors is appallingly negligent.

Plastic pollution is a major, international problem causing continuing, damage to the oceans of the world and their inhabitants. Also, other animals,including humans, are being damaged by the ingestion of micro-plastics. The Government levy would serve 2 functions: firstly, it would encourage major food chains and smaller food retailers to minimise the use of such unnecessary plastic and the recycling of the plastic would remove these pollutants from the environment. There is a third possible result which would be the establishment of an Australian innovative technology with the creation of jobs.

Global capitalism needs a global opposition. Here, an Australian company is engaged with a corrupt government to violently oppress opposition to a mine that the company will profit from. This is shameful. Do Black Lives Matter?

So much plastic material is used worldwide that cannot easily be recycled by current methods like car parts and interior panels. All come from crude oil, a limited resource.
