Transform our politics: kicking out the vested interests of the fossil fuel industry and creating real accountability to the needs of everyday people and communities

About

Climate justice is political. If we want the big, bold change that’s needed for climate justice we need a Federal government that can implement huge, justice centred solutions. We need to transform our politics: kicking out the vested interests of the fossil fuel industry and creating real accountability to the needs of everyday people and communities.

Climate conversations progress
• Our goal: 10,000

What we’re asking for this election:
• ONE: Net zero emissions by 2035, with a 75% reduction in emissions by 2030
• TWO: No public money to coal, oil and gas (including phase-out of existing subsidies and tax breaks for fossil fuels by 2024)
• THREE: All of our public schools, hospitals, government offices, public and social housing, halls and libraries 100% powered by renewable energy by 2025
• FOUR: Supporting fossil fuel communities into climate positive jobs with fair pay, training opportunities and long-term security
• FIVE: Power Indigenous communities with renewable energy and support First Nations people to lead and reap the rewards of renewable energy.
