Australians are paying for the effects of climate change already. It's time the govt made big polluters pay their part. The first step is for the government to release its National Climate Risk Assessment report - to acknowledge, transparently and honestly, where we are and what we need to do.
Local governments face soaring cost of climate change
Local government revenue is not keeping pace with the rapidly rising costs of climate change, according to new analysis by The Australia Institute.

Insurance can’t make a nation safe from climate change
We can no more rely on insurers to protect us from floods than we can expect supermarkets to protect us from famines
Insurance is a one year contract. Once damage becomes likely you just cant buy it

Successive govts have failed to ensure 🇦🇺 gas benefits Australians. The re-elected Albanese Govt risks doing the same.
There's enough uncontracted gas to fix the projected shortfall. What’s missing is the guts to stand up to the gas industry.

Other countries tax their oil and gas industries. Australia subsidies ours.
Our research found while gas prices boomed in 2022, LNG companies made windfall gains of up to $40 billion. PRRT take increased by less than $1 billion.
