HCRG Care's lawyers claimed an injunction issued in a "private" hearing required us to remove two posts. We didn't comply.
HCRG Care was represented by the Pinsent Masons law firm in the UK in this matter. The injunction was issued by the High Court of Justice, King's Bench Division, Media and Communications List by the Honorable Mr. Justice Soole.
Pinsent Mason's attempt to get my web host to remove my posts also failed.
As always, I feel blessed to have the legal support of Covington and Burling's Kurt Wimmer Pro Media Freedom Initiative, which has represented my site pro bono for the last 16 years.
Read about the letter, the injunction, and why the High Court's over-reaching injunction endangers UK journalists and doesn't serve the public well.

Oh, and I'm not the only one ignoring the injunction. Medusa also got served with the injunction via tox chat, they tell me. And like other injunctions they have received, they are ignoring it. So what has HCRG really accomplished?

Creating a mandatory human rights due diligence regime for Australian companies
"We analysed the human rights commitments of 25 of the top companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), including some of our largest banks and mining companies."
"We found Australian companies have a long way to go in “knowing and showing” a commitment to respect human rights, suggesting an urgent need for reform...It is clear from our research that many large Australian companies are not operating in line with international standards."
"One response could be for Australia to follow the European Union’s lead and create a mandatory human rights due diligence regime. Australian companies must take proactive steps to comply with international standards. Our findings suggest the government should enact a stronger and broader mandatory human rights due diligence law covering all human rights. "

A win for transparency, a blow to secrecy, a loss for the Maugean Skate - Michael West
In a landmark Administrative Review Tribunal decision, public servants have been warned their secrecy culture is unlawful and it must end.Rex Patrick (Michael West)
Yes, #secrecy is necessary - sometimes, but when the crooked politicians seeks to use the principle of national security to hide their own failings then all bets should be off the table. This occurred during the #Johnson #maladministration, But revelations about the FO hiding evidence of #WarCrimes under #Starmer it is still necessary.

* 116 sign the Global Renewables and Energy Efficiency Pledge,
* 27 countries sign UAE Hydrogen Declaration of Intent,
* 52 countries sign Global Cooling Pledge
But the 50 companies that signed Oil and Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC) to reduce operational emissions are listed.
Checked media release PDFs for links to any lists. Nothing. I could only confirm Australia signed Global Renewables and Energy Efficiency Pledge from a DCCEEW media release.
Other journalists have also asked for the pledge lists. Nuran Erkul got the Renewables pledge from media desk (Image attached) which reveals No China. No India. No South Africa. No Turkey. No Indonesia.
