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."

No more subsidies for coal and gas. The corporations involved have enormous profits and pay little back, so why should they be given taxpayer funding.

As one of the world’s biggest exporters of coal and gas, we are contributing disproportionately to global emissions no matter where on earth they are burned. To subsidise this travesty is tantamount to pleading guilty to intergenerational planetary genocide.

We don’t need it there are other sustainable options that need to be explored rather then just putting money into rich people fat pockets by continuing to use unsustainable fuels and ruining our planet

The human race has been trashing our planet for far too long! We know beyond doubt that fossil fuels are contributing to the warming and extreme weather patterns. They must be phased out before it’s too late!

Climate Change it’s only just started . A lot worse is to come. It’s obvious if you believe in reality.

No new fossil fuel developments. Clean energy investment must happen now, to hold global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees celsius and give at risk Australians a chance for a safe climate future.

I want Australia to transition as soon as possible to renewable energy supply, storage and transmission via co-sited wind, solar PV, battery and pumped hydro storage and associated transmission facilities to remove our dependence on polluting fossil fuels which are destroying the ecosphere.

As we have the means to power Australia without destroying our plants, why don’t we?
Dawn 2022-10-08 11:25:42 +1100
I want to end the addiction to coal and gas because the climate is breaking down before our very eyes and governments of all persuasions globally are acting way to slowly to prevent the situation worsening.
