Nannas were ‘difficult’ as usual last week! We watched NSW Budget Estimates in Parliament House and online, protested Minns’ anti-protest laws outside the federal court, and took part in a protest against the AUKUS nuclear submarine deal.

Nannas visit MPs offices, follow the Senate disinformation hearings, and learn about the changing maps of the Great Koala National Park. We support a community against a coal mine appeal, learn how to write better submissions and hear about the Murray Darling Basin Review.

Last week Nannas pressured MPs for an independent investigation into police violence at the protest against Israeli President Herzog’s visit, attended a koala trivia night, wrote submissions, and learnt about the Doomsday Clock. We know we haven’t got long, but have you? Take action!

Nannas welcomed back NSW pollies after the summer break, heard from speakers on hot topics, and learnt about the dangers of heatwaves.

Nannas gathered on Thursday 5 February for the funeral of our dear friend and fellow Knitting Nanna Heather Goodall.

Nannas had their first in-person meeting in 2026 on Friday 29 January and welcomed five new Nannas. The end of fossil fuels is near but not coming nearly fast enough to save us from prolonged heatwaves. Nannas will not stop working for an end to fossil fuel exports, and that means no new coal and gas.
