Nick McKim vs Coal: Greens Demand Climate Glow-Up ASAP

On October 28, 2025, Senator Nick McKim, spokesperson for the Greens, officially took no prisoners on the Today show, demanding Labor to stop signing off on new coal and gas mines like reckless toddlers playing with matches. He warned Australia about the 'astronomical' costs of climate denial, citing floods and bushfires as Mother Nature’s unpaid utility bills hitting communities hard, plus surging insurance premiums that might soon require their own government bailout. McKim threatened that laws ignoring forest and climate protection won’t even be worth the paper they're printed on—a not-so-subtle shade to Labor’s ink-happy promises. Meanwhile, The Guardian yells from the sidelines, delivering breaking news to anyone brave enough to stay informed.

Nick McKim told Labor to stop cozying up to coal mines before Mother Earth wraps Australia in a $#!tstorm of floods, fires, and sky-high insurance bills nobody can afford. Climate laws? More like climate LOLs if forests get chopped faster than Labor can print promises.

If Labor keeps approving coal mines, soon the only green Australia will see is the dollar signs in insurance companies’ bank accounts as they cash in on our fiery chaos.

Nick McKim’s climate mic drop boils down to: stop coal or stop pretending laws matter. Australians will be paying for this denial through floods, fires, and annual premiums that make mortgage payments look like Monopoly money.
