Will you ask your Member of Parliament to support clean energy in Australia and amend the National Energy Guarantee?
The Turnbull Government took their energy policy, the National Energy Guarantee (NEG) to COAG this week, hoping for agreement by the states and territories.
After huge pressure from thousands of people writing to state energy ministers, backed by an intensive lobbying effort from ACF campaigners, several state governments demanded new changes.
Minister Frydenberg and Prime Minister Turnbull are now under intense pressure to compromise on their all-or-nothing position. That’s why raising your voice right now can add to the pressure and tip the balance.
Will you email your MP and ask them to support these changes at the Coalition party room meeting this Tuesday? These changes will make it easier for a responsible future government to meet our Paris targets:
- Putting the targets in regulation rather than legislation so they can be easily increased.
- Reviewing targets every three years and with only stronger targets allowed.
- Allowing state governments to build more clean energy in addition to the NEG.
A personal message from you to your MP will really cut through.
Let's make sure our elected representatives hear loud and clear that we, the people, want to power our lives with clean energy, not climate-wrecking fuels from the last century.
