Saving the river saves the farms, the GBR and ultimately the economy.

“During floods, the 310-kilometre-long river churns brown with soil and nutrients washed in from its catchment, originating in the Conondale range.

It discharges into the Great Sandy Strait, the southernmost section of the world-heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef.”

Our National Campaign Organiser Jude has been running LEAN campaign and organising Skill Labs across the country for the last month, to help grow and strengthen our LEAN National community. And optimise the impact of our campaign.

After training weekends in Tasmania and Victoria, yesterday the Skill Lab program reached the ACT. Our National Secretary Janaline, who is based in the ACT, also joined this wonderful weekend session. The weekend was capped off with a fun social event attended by ACT Environment Minister Susan Orr and Minister Andrew Leigh MP.

We were thrilled to see both long‑standing and new LEAN and Labor members participating and contributing to plans to grow and strengthen
LEAN’s critical work. Additional training sessions are planned for NSW, Queensland and other states in the coming weeks.

If you would like to attend training and join LEAN please get in touch!

Today's destination absolutely lived up to its name - it was glorious!

LEAN and MBYL took to the mountains to really appreciate why it is we're committed to protecting nature and taking real action on climate change.

We discussed nature laws, climate justice, justice for First Nations People, unfair diesel rebates, and holding reckless state governments to account.

Massive thanks to these legends who made today inclusive, empowering and loads of fun.

If you want to join us for our next nature walk, or have a spot in mind you want to share, sign up at the link in our bio, or send us a DM.

A great article about how environmental upgrade agreements worked for low income households.

Council staff said human resources and time are essential, with one noting: ‘We have to go through a fair amount of information to explain how solar works.’
