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’d like my grandchildren to enjoy summer without rising temperatures and winds driving massive bushfires, like the one that has burnt through the Grampians again.

Coal and gas are scientifically proven now to be major causes of Climate Change. Continuing to exploit their production and use is flying in the face of stupid approvals. We need a government strong enough to make practical decisions to reduce our impact. Tanya Plibersek has failed us, the LNP are equally as irrational. Who can we vote for? Even the Greens have become a disruptive ineffective group. Do we wait for Donald Trump to complete the destruction of our lives?

We need to stop approving coal and gas expansions and projects for the sake of the planet and our country.
We know climate change is driving extreme weather and for Australia catastrophic fires. It’s a no brainer. No more massive subsidies to the fossil fuel industry while they make profits at the expense of our country, our flora and fauna and peoples lives and livelihoods. Australia has experienced another year of record temperatures due to climate change. We need to act now.
