1. Stop approving new coal and gas projects. Not “offset”, not “abate later”, not “approve with conditions” - just stop.
2. Put climate into our national environment laws so projects can be refused on climate grounds. If it can’t be stopped because it’s dangerous, then the law is broken.

Taxation shapes the society we want to live in. It facilitates the provision of public services and is a key policy lever to reduce inequality. Too often the decision of how and who we tax — or do not tax — is shaped by vested interests rather than asking what is best for most Australians.
