Open letter to our elected representatives
'To all Members and Senators of the Australian Parliament,
The bushfire crisis continues to devastate communities and wildlife on an unprecedented and alarming scale. Intensifying drought and heat are making bushfires larger, more destructive and frequent. This is climate change and the root cause – burning polluting fuels like coal – is making it worse. We urge you to use this moment of crisis as a turning point. Let’s move forward together, as a nation, and not look backwards at a decade of division and missed opportunity. We call on you to stand with our communities, wildlife and places we love and:
- Rapidly replace coal with clean energy, stop any new coal mines and fund a transition plan for affected workers and communities.
- Massively increase funding for long-term wildlife and ecosystem recovery and create strong national environment laws to protect nature and end extinction.
This is too important for party politics. Please step up and act so our communities and wildlife have a thriving future.'
Thank you for signing 🤗

STOP COAL MINING, YOUR WARMING THE PLANET. THE FIRES ARE FRIGHTENING AND CANNOT BE STOPPED. YOU NEED TO ACT ON CLIMATE CHANGE NOW.
keep looking support’s and do this with all group’s
do this safe every safe were you are if there is a township send members to let local state all government township action and in good things .
Climate scientists’ opinion is unanimous. Governments around the world must do more if we are to avoid catastrophic climate change, and they must act NOW. Australia is wealthy and has a very high carbon footprint/head of population. It is imperative that our nation shows the rest of the world what meaningful action looks like. We must end the prevaricating, and get on with it NOW.
Even if it may be difficult to accept that the continuing use of burning fossil fuel for energy/power has its affect on our climate, I would be more supportive of your decisions if you were planning to improve how our water resources are used and how our soil for agriculture is maintained. The health of these 2 substances is vital to being able to feed our people and stock as well support our unique Australian environment.
Let’s establish the climate action reforms now during this decade, and so help achieve a far safer, healthier, peaceful future for all lives on our Earth!
Please, before it’s too late.
Please listen to professional scientific organisations and implement sound, meaningful policy to greatly reduce emissions.
Our future depends on your decision to ACT on “rapidly replacing coal with clean energy, STOP coal mines FUND transition for affected workers and communities”. Time is running out!
is broken and the breakers are in charge. It is past time to clean up politics and restore our democracy.
We face a Climate Emergency. Urgent action to reduce emissions is essential before 2030.
Long term emission targets aren’t enough. We need to ameliorate impact and build future resilience NOW.
Our Government needs to wake up, our country is facing more and more disasters every year and soon we will lose any hope of slowing it let alone fixing the issues
I am so disillusioned by politics and our leaders at present.
Obvious changes must be put in place.
For Example:
Banning large donations to political parties and candidates.
Increasing the transparency of political donations, including real time reporting of donations.
Limiting expenditure at election times so corporations can’t use their oversized wallets to drown out our voices.
Creating an independent watchdog to investigate and stamp out corruption.
Stronger lobbying regulation and greater transparency so we know who’s meeting with our elected representatives and why.
Unless changes are implemented our Country is not really a democracy, is it?
What has happened?
Nicole can you explain why these examples are allowed in politics because for me it makes absolutely no sense apart from the corruption that is.
I would be very interested to read your answer, because for now, I see no justification.
Yours sincerely,

Take action now – if not for yourself, for our children who can’t breath.
