More than 100 leaders have signed an open letter calling on the Albanese Government to back the COP30 Mutirão roadmap to phase out fossil fuels.
With over 80 nations already on board, Australia must choose: lead with integrity or fall further behind as the world moves on from coal and gas.

Granting the minister the power to destroy nature for any reason they deem to be in the national interest is an alarming level of authority one that could fast-track fossil fuel projects, carbon capture and storage, or uranium mining, regardless of environmental harm.
