Four years after huge tides flooded graves on Masig Island in the Torres Strait, Yessie Mosby continues to scour the beach for the skeletal remains of his great-great-grandmother.
A spokesperson for Attorney-General Christian Porter said it would be inappropriate to comment further while the UN Human Rights Committee investigated the complaint. "This claim is internationally important because it's the first case that is brought by very climate-vulnerable people against their own home state," Ms Marjanac said.
She said it was a "groundbreaking" opportunity to clarify where international law stood on the application of human rights to climate change."We want to put it out for the world to see that my people are fighters," he said.
Erosion? A process that has happened for Millenia and now we think we can stop it?
Ah... you can be held individually responsible for actively making the problem worse while everyone else is at least trying to make it better 😠 Porter: It would be inappropriate for us to publicly disclose the depths of our depravity 🙄
Your islands only exist BECAUSE of climate change.

The federal budget reflects a 'new orthodoxy' | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian’s Editor-at-Large Paul Kelly says the government’s revised fiscal strategy “reflects a new orthodoxy”, namely, that a fundamental change in economic policy was necessary to respond to Australia’s recession. \n\nTreasurer Josh Frydenberg on Thursday revealed the government’s budget repair approach will be replaced with ongoing targeted and proportionate spending to drag Australia out of recession. \n\nIn place of the previous fiscal strategy there will now be a two phase approach. \n\nThe first is about boosting confidence and getting Australians back to work. \n\nThe second will happen when Australia’s recovery is in full swing, with Mr Frydenberg making it clear it won’t occur until unemployment is below six per cent.\n\nMr Kelly wrote in the Australian on Saturday “this is a transformation of the liberal Party – for a defined period – into advocates of big and interventionist government pending the return of normality.”\n\nThe federal budget is set to be revealed on October 6. \n\nMr Kelly told Sky News host Peta Credlin the budget reflects the views of the Treasury of the Reserved Bank, the regulators, Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Treasurer Josh Frydenberg “we needed a fundamental change in economic policy to respond to the recession.”\n\n“We’re seeing that in terms of very significant government spending, government intervention, a far more expansionary monetary policy, availability of credit, and of course, what we’ll see in the budget are big personal income tax cuts and investment support for the corporate sector,” he said. \n\n“We’ll also see of course, enormous deficits and debt right across the forward estimates, the magnitude of this, the numbers are just going to be staggering.\n\n“The debate is going to be about Keynesian demand stimulus, jobs, and economic activity until we get the unemployment rate back comfortably below 6 per cent. \n\n“Well that’s going to be a few years away yet.”\n In other words Labor was right to spend its way out of the GFC, so not so new at all.
