NEW: London Mayor @SadiqKhan re-elected for 3rd term. Described as “divisive” & “anti-car” in the article, this is more evidence that being willing to challenge the strangle-hold that #CarDependency has on cities isn’t the political negative some think time.com/6974786/labour…
Good news re HECS indexation. But the issue of the size of the debt remains. The cost of university degrees remains based on Scott Morrison’s policy. That needs to change. #Insiders

Over 740 planet-wrecking fossil fuel projects have been waved through under Australia’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act which ignores climate impacts. 25 new coal mines and multiple massive gas projects are in the pipeline. Time’s overdue for change.
