Screen capture of Tanya Plibersek Facebook post Thursday afternoon 19 December berating previous Coalition government with Tony Abbott and Peter Dutton for approving 8 new coal projects. Tanya says "What a difference a decade makes" Second tile says: "Lets fast forward 10 years". Third tile says: "In 2024 Labor has approved 0 new coal mines."
