PETITION: Strong environment laws to 🛑stop new coal and gas now!

Albanese_Ley.png

Right now the Albanese Labor Government is rewriting our federal environment laws. 

But instead of working with the Greens and independents to strengthen these laws, Labor is seeking a deal with the Coalition.

That means getting the support of climate sceptics like Matt Canavan, who recently called for renewable projects to be replaced by new coal plants.

Australians voted for climate action. Tell the government we need environment laws stop new coal and gas projects – not fast-track their approval.

Add your name to demand strong environment laws that can stop new coal and gas now!

MORE INFORMATION

Australia Institute research shows that Australia is currently expanding both gas and coal, with 94 new fossil fuel projects under development. Emissions have continued to increase. And under the current laws, Murray Watt recently approved Woodside’s North West Shelf to continue exporting gas until 2070 – a project which scientists estimate could cause hundreds of heat-related deaths this century. 

It’s clear that our environment laws need updating – but for them to work, they need to stop new fossil fuel projects, not rubber stamp them. 

 

To the Hon. Murray Watt MP, Minister for the Environment -- 

The Australian public voted for a climate majority at the last election, and we want strong environment laws that can stop new coal and gas.  

Every new coal and gas mine damages nature. We urge you to strengthen – not weaken – Australia's environment laws.
