Dad, True Believer, Qld Labor Senator. Minister for the Environment and Water. Authorised M Watt ALP Canberra
We’ve just approved a new solar farm in Qld and the approval took just 17 days. We’re getting on with the job of helping Australia become a renewable energy superpower.
We’ve announced $14 million in Federal funding to support the South Australian Government’s response to the devastating algal bloom impacting coastal waters. It will help with clean up, business assistance and more scientific research.
BREAKING: World Heritage listing secured for the Murujuga Cultural Landscape! Congratulations to the Ngarda-Ngarli, the Traditional Owners of this very special place, who have led this bid, supported by our govt. Terrific to see it given global recognition & greater protection.

Heartening to see strong support from other countries for Australia’s push for World Heritage listing of Murujuga Cultural Landscape in WA. 20 year campaign by Traditional Owners comes to a head at today’s World Heritage Committee meeting in Paris. 🤞 theguardian.com/australia-news…

We’re backing the Murujuga traditional owners and custodians in their fight for this ancient and special site to be given World Heritage listing.
Been thinking about getting a home battery? From today, Labor has made them cheaper.

More cost of living help is kicking in today. For workers. For parents. For students. For households. We're delivering for Australians.
