To be clear, Environment Minster ⁦Tanya Plibersek⁩ CAN still stop new fossil fuel projects on the basis of their climate impacts if she chooses to. It’s just that she can also choose to ignore the climate impacts if she wants to. abc.net.au/news/2024-05-1…

Good on Walkley Foundation for ditching fossil fuel sponsorship! Others across arts, entertainment, news and sports need to follow suit and reject, as the Walkley Foundation say, support from companies that ‘offer no tangible benefit to humanity’. Here's our guide: climatecouncil.org.au/action-call-ti…

The New Vehicle Efficiency Standard we’ve campaigned so fiercely for was voted into law by the Federal Parliament last night! This is a win for the climate, a win for our health, a win for our hip pockets, & a win for all Australians – whether they drive a car or not. #Auspol

Congratulations to the Walkley Foundation for taking a stand against fossil fuel sponsors!“Businesses across the news, entertainment & music industry should follow suit & clean up their act. Dirty money should not fund the future of Australia’s arts industry” - Amanda McKenzie.

Great to see coverage of LEAN Victoria's motion at State Labor conference in the AFR today. "The overt opposition to the gas strategy by the second-largest state’s ALP branch illustrated the friction within the party..."

Important admission from Nationals leader David Littleproud: if a future Coalition govt does not have a credible emissions reductionplan, farmers and other exporters face higher tariffs - and everyone’s borrowing costs will go up. Take a listen 👇⁦10 News First

Dutton's energy scheme is a disaster. It means his climate policy is: let it burn. Let the megafires burn. Let sea levels rise. Let the heat become unbearable. A plan that fails to get off fossil fuels now is a plan for vast suffering as unnatural disasters escalate. #Auspol2024

Seriously, the Coalition can't even say what kind of reactors it will build, or who will build them, or how big they will be, but is saying say one will be up and running by 2035. There is a giant credibility gap here. 🤷‍♂️

Dutton’s scheme has a gaping hole at its heart. Seven standard nuclear reactors would generate approximately 9GW of energy. AEMO’s latest planning indicates Australia will need at least 300 GW by 2050. Where will the rest of the power come from? Brain fart not a policy. #Auspol

Having the first nuclear plants coming online in 2035 (which itself is an ambitious timeline), would be catastrophic for electricity supply reliability.

Climate Council CEO Amanda McKenzie said: “The Sun Cable project shines a light on the cleaner energy grid we’re building here and now, and is a bold step in seizing the power of the sun to make Australia a clean energy powerhouse.

Our CEO Amanda McKenzie joined Rebecca Maddern on 7NEWS Melbourne last night to discuss our latest report, which found almost a quarter of Melbourne's schools and childcare centres are within 100m of a major road - which heightens the health risks for children going there.

A new report shows that one in six schools and childcare centres in Australia’s capital cities are exposed to air pollution from busy roads, heightening the risks of asthma and respiratory conditions. We spoke with Amanda McKenzie from Climate Council. educationhq.com/news/air-quali…
