Australia is in the grip of a climate crisis, and extracting more gas will put us in harm's way.

The Climate Council’s new report, Passing Gas: Why Renewables are the Future, found that gas is a major driver behind Australia’s contribution to catastrophic climate change.

Email your State MP today, and urge them to publicly oppose new gas exploration and support a plan to phase out gas.

Australia is in the grip of a climate crisis, and extracting more gas will put us in harm's way.

The Climate Council’s new report, Passing Gas: Why Renewables are the Future, found that gas is a major driver behind Australia’s contribution to catastrophic climate change.

Email your State MP today, and urge them to publicly oppose new gas exploration and support a plan to phase out gas.

The report finds that:

  • Australia’s in the grip of a climate crisis. Extracting and burning more gas escalates risk and puts more Australians in harm’s way.

  • The international gas market is in crisis, and Australia is dangerously exposed to job losses and power price volatility.

  • The second biggest user of gas in Australia is the gas industry itself, and that is costing all Australians.

  • We do not need new gas when renewables are cheaper and cleaner.

We can reduce emissions, reduce power prices and create thousands of jobs by investing in clean, affordable, reliable renewable energy and storage technologies.

Email your State MP today to let them know that Australians don’t want more gas.

Australians deserve an economic recovery that creates jobs and tackles climate change.

But our Governments wants to waste millions of taxpayer dollars by expanding expensive, dirty and polluting new gas projects instead.

Email your State MP a copy of our new report today, and urge them to publicly oppose new gas exploration and develop a plan to phase out fossil fuels and invest in clean solutions.

  • It’s better to add to and edit the email as much as possible and write your own subject line - to ensure it lands in your MP’s inbox and reflects what you want to say. Just remember, while it's important to be passionate, always be respectful and don't use inappropriate or threatening language.

  • Add a personal message to your email, to explain why this issue is important to you. You can do this by including a relevant personal anecdote or experience.This will help make the issue real and tangible for your MP.

  • If your MP has made any positive steps on renewable energy and climate change, you can thank them for the action they have already taken. But make sure to make it clear what else you would like them to do.

Be sure to leave your name and contact details at the bottom, so your MP can get back to you with a response.
