VOTE FOR OUR CLIMATE
Now is our chance for climate action
It’s time for real climate action
Over the past few years, Australian families have been hit with back to back climate emergencies: from the 2019-20 bushfires to the recent floods that devastated northern New South Wales and Queensland.
We know that fossil fuels are the biggest driver of the climate crisis, yet both Liberal and Labor accept millions of dollars in fossil fuel donations, and as a result they want to keep burning coal and gas for another three decades.
In fact, one of the world’s top climate scientists has said that both Labor and the Liberals’ climate targets will take us over a climate cliff. It will mean more and more families have their lives destroyed by climate impacts, mass extinctions, and the death of the Great Barrier Reef. [1]
Neither major party has a credible climate target. Only the Greens do.
The Greens will ban fossil fuel donations to political parties, put an end to coal and gas while looking after workers, and ensure a safe climate for all Australians.
Now is the time for action.

Fossil fuel donors are corrupting politics
Australia has the potential to be a world leader in climate action and renewable energy.
We have some of the best renewable energy resources in the world, particularly in wind and solar. Experts say we have enough renewable energy potential to power all our electricity needs, with plenty to spare.
But, for decades, instead of supporting us the major parties have supported their big business donors who profit from old technology that’s ruining our climate. They are holding back a brighter future because they care more about their political donations from the billionaires and big corporations that mine and burn polluting coal and gas.
Last year fossil fuel companies gave almost $2 million to the Labor, Liberal and National parties. With money like that flowing in, they can’t be trusted to act on climate change.
Change is up to us
The Greens will:
- Reduce carbon emissions by 75% by 2030 and reach net zero emissions by 2035
- Create millions of jobs investing in publicly owned renewable energy
- Initiate a massive program of direct public investment in energy, transport, manufacturing, housing and revegetation
If just a few hundred people change their vote, we can kick the Liberal Government out and get the Greens in balance of power.
Last time we were in balance of power we passed world-leading climate legislation and secured billions of dollars in funding for renewables. This time, we can tackle the climate crisis by phasing out fossil fuels while creating hundreds of thousands of secure, well-paid jobs.
Using my experience as an environmental lawyer, I will drive policy that makes solar accessible for everyone, powers our public transport network with clean energy, and turns this country into a renewable energy superpower.
