Burning coal and gas fuels climate destruction, making Australia’s fire seasons start earlier and last longer – and putting the people and places we love in more danger with less time to prepare.
These disasters will only get worse until we rapidly cut climate pollution. The Australian Government must do more to protect people, not polluters.
While communities and koala populations battle unnatural blazes this summer, our government has just approved four new coal mine expansions!
Since the 2019/20 Black Summer bushfires, our governments have handed over $50 billion in public money to support the fossil fuel industry. Dirty coal and gas polluters make mega profits while everyday Australians pick up the bill from climate disasters – from lives lost to holidays cancelled to spiralling insurance, grocery and energy bill costs.
Sign the petition now to demand our government stop the climate wreckers.
Petition demands
"To the Prime Minister, Energy Minister, Environment Minister and Treasurer:
End coal and gas in Australia to ramp up climate action. That means:
- This decade, replacing existing coal, gas and uranium exports with a renewable-powered exports industry and climate-positive careers for communities
- No new coal and gas projects or infrastructure
- Stop spending public money on the fossil fuel industry – fund climate solutions instead."

I want Australia to end coal and gas because we are smarter than that. We know the science, we know it’s heating our planet and we know we are in a climate crisis. Let’s be smarter and use the technology that won’t harm our planet.
I Want Australia to ban coal & fossil fuels because they destroy the environment I also want them to ban pollies who own these businesses as they are wasting our money & destroying the environment
Australia needs to step up & have real leadership & action on climate change. The science is clear. This obviously must mean an end to coal & gas.
I want to end the use of coal and gas, Move more quickly to renewables to save the planet
Coal and gas are primitve. Renewables are clean, fabulous disrupters and best of all .. the energy is free
I want Australia to end coal and gas because fossil fuels are causing climate change and killing the planet. Also, all the profits go to the billionaires that control those fossil fuel corporations and they pay very little tax. They ship most of the fossil fuels overseas and Australians end up paying more for their energy than the countries that buy the coal and gas from us. We have so much potential with solar and wind power, but again, the fossil fuel companies and conservative politicians push the propaganda that these cleaner forms of energy are the problem.
Scientific research shows that continuing to use coal and gas will worsen climate change effects
Coal gas and nuclear are not Australia’s future
I want Australia to end burning gas and coal as it wrecks our climate. We have much better alternatives and we need to do this.
There are wonderful alternatives to coal and gas, which do not wreck the planet. It’s madness and greed which keeps these outdated resources being used. It must stop now.
The coal and gas industry not only has minimal return that benufits a few rich ,it is devasting to our major food bowls and causes irreparable damage to our climate. It must stop now.
I care about my grandchildren’s future and support the UN in saying no more coal or gas.
The future of the world as we know it depends on evolving away from fossil fuels.
It’s just plain stupid to continue with any products that contribute to global warming. Please stop for the sake of all our children and our children’s children.
Australia is one of the biggest produces and exporters of coal and gas which is contributing to the climate crisis. Australia has a responsibility to move away from using this as revenue and to start taxing and charging companies more for taking these resources which belong to Australians. The money could be used to electrify everyones home, move people from flood prone areas and stop building in areas of bush.
I want to be able to look my grandchildren in the eyes and tell them I honestly did as much as I could to help mitigate the effects of climate change/ global warming.
Renewable energy is the safest, most sensible and cost effective way to help ensure a better future for our amazing planet earth and all it’s inhabitants, including humankind.
