Coal and gas is fueling the climate crisis. And Labor is making it worse by opening new coal and gas mines.
2023 smashed the record for the world’s hottest year by a huge margin, hitting 1.48C above pre-industrial levels. There’s no more time to wait.
But Labor has given the go ahead to 5 new coal projects in under 12 months. They include the Gregory Crinum, Isaac River, Star and Ensham coal mines – some approved to run for another 50 years.
We must join together to fight back against the power of coal and gas corporations.
The Greens recently secured a hit on new oil and gas projects fuelling the climate crisis. The Environment Minister now has the power to stop new gas mines if they threaten our precious water supplies, our climate and our future.
As a result of Greens’ pressure, Tanya Plibersek will now be personally responsible for deciding if climate destroying fracking and gas projects like the Beetaloo, the Perth Basin and Burrup Hub go ahead. She can stop them going ahead.
It’s time to make it clear to Labor: no more gas in a climate crisis.
Labor is taking too many big donations from coal and gas corporations, and giving them special treatment. Big corporations come first and the environment and climate comes second. 🙄
The only way to tackle the climate crisis is to stop approving more coal and gas.
It’s now all up to the Minister. They can stop new gas projects - but we’ll need to make them do it.
