The Federal Government has announced it wants to waste millions of taxpayer dollars propping up the polluting and expensive gas industry, rather than investing in a plan that will actually rebuild our economy and protect Australians from long-term threats.

The Federal Government's 'Gas Plan' would:

The Federal Government's 'Gas Plan' would:

  • Deliver no jobs in the short-term - when they are needed most - pushing up power bills and increasing uncertainty in the energy market. 

  • Waste taxpayers’ money propping up an uneconomic industry during a recession, instead of using stimulus money to solve the long term problems facing Australia.

To reduce emissions, reduce power prices, create jobs, and reboot Australia’s economy, we need to invest in clean, affordable, reliable renewable energy and storage technologies. Email your MP today to amplify our push.

The Climate Council’s Clean Jobs Plan found that 76,000 jobs are ready to go right now across Australia, and rapidly get people back into the workforce while tackling climate change. This is the plan Australia needs right now.

Email your Federal MP today to let them know that Australians deserve a clean economic recovery.

  • 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.
