Fossil fuel multinationals get a massive free kick in this year’s Budget, while Australians are left exposed to global energy price spikes and climate harm.

The Climate Council has warned the Albanese Government that its gas reservation policy must mark the end of gas expansion

Australian families looking to cut their fuel bills and beat the energy crisis with clean solutions will welcome news the Federal Government is maintaining its electric vehicle discount measures in this year’s Budget.

Australians want budget measures to help electrify their homes and transport, and the government to prioritise renewable energy sources rather than fossil fuels, a new poll has found. 

The more we can electrify our homes and transport, the more we reduce our reliance on imported oil and gas.

Australia’s economic security is under direct fire from the climate crisis and our dangerous reliance on volatile fossil fuels, yet the nation’s key law to future-proof industry is being hijacked by coal and gas giants.

The Albanese Government has just approved a new gas export project, leaving Australians highly exposed to volatile international markets and rising costs of living.

A new Climate Council report finds record global levels of coal, oil and gas pollution is overtaking natural climate drivers like El Niño and La Niña – accelerating the “climate whiplash” phenomenon that flings communities rapidly from one disaster to the next.
