VOTE FOR OUR CLIMATE
Now is our chance for climate action
The Glasgow COP26 Climate Summit is the summit that can map a pathway towards a safe climate future.
Leading economies are moving beyond oil, coal and gas and Australia has the potential to be a world leader in climate action and renewable energy.
But, instead of seizing this opportunity, the Liberal and Labor parties want to keep burning coal and gas for another three decades. This will take us over a climate cliff. It’ll mean mass extinctions and more frequent and intense heat waves, fires, droughts and extreme rainfall.
It’s simple. If you don’t have a plan to phase out coal and gas this decade, you don’t have a plan to tackle the climate crisis.
Now is the time for action.
In Solidarity,

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.
