Australians voted for stronger climate action, not weaker environment laws.
Australia Institute research shows that Australia is currently expanding gas and coal, with 94 new fossil fuel projects under development.
Sign our petition calling on Minister Watt to stop new gas and coal!

Tax breaks for huge, American-style utes cost the Australian government $250 million in 2023.
But it gets worse.
Emissions from passenger cars have fallen since 2005, but that drop was wiped out by the increased use of big utes. #auspol

In the extraordinarily unlikely circumstance that (1) I’d ever been nominated for an AO (2) actually accepted the nomination and (3) been given that award, I would be even more ashamed of myself to have the same award as that festering bag of shit Scott Morrison.

Talking about the 'power' of the Australian gas lobby gives the industry far too much credit. The real credit should go to our government and senior public servants for their spinelessness and willingness to put self interest before anything else.

Once the bedrock of opposition to 100% renewables, “baseload” is now obsolete. AEMO—the Australian Energy Market Operator—says there’s no going back. The grid’s shifting to renewables, batteries & flexible demand. Coal gone by 2035, gas fading. #AEMO #AusPol #EnergyTransition #Solar #Wind #BESS #LFP
“There is no going back:” AEMO bids goodbye to baseload grid and spins high renewable future
AEMO says there is “no going back” to a baseload and peaking power system, but for the moment prefers spinning machines over battery inverters for system security.
