The Morrison Government has just signed a $1 BILLION energy deal with South Australia – bankrolling millions for polluting gas projects under the guise that it will help Australia “responsibly combat climate change” [1]
They’re not fooling us.
The Government’s dirty gas agenda would lock us into emissions for decades to come, exacerbating climate change – yet instead of prioritising our climate and our communities, the Morrison Government is planning to spend millions of public dollars expanding the dirty gas industry.
Together, we can ensure the Morrison Government doesn’t trade away our futures for corporate profits.
Right now, our public money should be used to create the solutions to the climate crisis that we want to see, that will actually serve our communities– not spending millions of public dollars propping up the greedy gas industry.
At a time when other countries are increasingly ramping up their climate ambitions, Australia is yet to commit to a net-zero emissions timeline [2].
So, on Thursday 29 April we’re coming together for a national day of action ahead of the budget, with creative stunts, storytelling, and banners to ensure our message is clear – Fund our future not gas
By raising our voices through collective action, we can harness media attention and public energy to make sure our message is seen far and wide and heard loud and clear. Our communities will not stand for public money going to dirty gas projects that risk our climate and our futures
