BP are pushing to drill the Great Australian Bight. They will be the first of a wave of oil companies looking to expand the fossil fuel industry into the Bight, placing the pristine marine environment at risk.

We’re leading a sustained national campaign to end fossil fuel subsidies in Australia.

This year, while political parties were counting votes to win seats in parliament, we were busy building power to make our environment the top issue in the long-term. Our community campaign is local, grassroots and growing enormous influence in the areas that matter for state and federal elections.

On 27 July 2012 the nail was put in the HRL coffin when the federal government withdrew its $100 million grant to the proposed coal plant. This achievement is a great example of what a strong community campaign can achieve.

We are still fighting to protect the 330,000ha of beautiful, ancient forests that the Government handed back to the logging industry when they repealed the Forests peace deal.
