We are now very close to having global heating of 1.5C and are seeing daily the disastrous consequences. These are being felt first by indigenous communities and the poorest countries who lack resources to protect themselves and have had the least input to global CO2 emmissions. The urgency of cutting emmissions cannot be understated. We invite you to join us in helping grow our actions in Melbourne, Chisholm, StKilda and Cooper into a city-wide movement by signing up to receive a regular newsletter about our current and future actions and initiatives as we build momentum towards the State and Federal elections.

Beetaloo Energy are proposing a massive $40bn data centre on our Country. The NT government has promised 185 hectares of stolen Larrakia land for a gas-fired power station and data centre that locks Darwin into decades of pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and environmental damage.  If this data centre goes ahead, it will consume more than six times the current peak electricity demand of Darwin and Katherine, draining resources from local communities while lining the pockets of fossil fuel and Big Tech corporations. We refuse to accept a future where our Country and cultural heritage is paved over for Big Tech and gas. We demand the protection and return of our sacred lands. Stop the Weddell data centre. Protect Larrakia and Kungarakan lands and waters. 

The “Polluter Pays” principle is simple – if you make a mess, you should clean it up.  Communities like ours are already paying the price of climate change through higher insurance premiums and increasing disaster recovery bills. Meanwhile, big coal, oil and gas corporations are making billions exporting Australia’s resources, often while paying no tax and pocketing huge government subsidies. Our community is already experiencing the impacts of climate pollution – from floods and bushfires to heatwaves and coastal erosion. Local councils are on the frontline, responsible for roads, drainage, community facilities and emergency response – but right now the costs of disasters are rising faster than council revenue.  A Climate Compensation Fund could help pay for: 🚨Disaster response and preparedness  😌 Insurance relief for disaster-hit communities 🏠 Flood-proofed homes 🏛️ Upgraded community halls and evacuation centres 🌳 Shaded streets and cool public spaces 🚒 Well-resourced emergency services ✨ An Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Climate Self Determination Fund 👷 Support for a just transition for workers and their families ➕ And much more… Delivery plans This petition will be delivered to Blacktown City Council who will be encouraged to table it as part of a successful Polluter Pays motion.

The Great Barrier Reef is an irreplaceable wonder, home to thousands of fish and coral.  For the first time, scientific evidence has shown the impact that climate pollution from Woodside’s Browse Gas Project in WA will have on the GBR. And for the first time in eight years, the federal government wants to know what the public thinks about Browse.  Why now?  Our friends at the Australian Conservation Foundation made a request to the Environment Minister to review the scope of the federal environmental assessment, kicking off this round of consultation.  The scientific experts have looked at the project and found its climate pollution will have a disastrous impact on the Great Barrier Reef, increasing coral deaths in mass bleaching events.  This new evidence and the public comment period is our chance to make some noise about Woodside's plans. In addition to the impact on the Great Barrier Reef, Woodside wants to drill 50 gas wells in the pristine Scott Reef. Let’s make sure the Environment Minister hears how many people don’t want this project to go ahead.  Key points in our submission Here are the key points in the 350 submission you’re adding your name to:  • The climate impacts from the Browse Gas Project must be considered.  • New scientific information shows the extent of the impact of Browse’s climate pollution on the Great Barrier Reef.  • The original referral decision on the Browse Gas Project should be changed to take into account these climate impacts on the Great Barrier Reef. You can read 350 Australia’s full submission here.

Protecting our island homes means protecting thousands of years of culture, knowledge and connection. Our Islands Our Home is a Torres Strait Islander-led climate justice campaign working to protect our island homes and build a future where our communities, cultures and Country continue to thrive.  We believe the people most affected by climate change must be at the centre of the solutions, and that lasting climate action must be grounded in First Nations leadership, justice and care for country. Together, we are building a growing movement of people supporting Torres Strait Islanders to protect what matters most. Join us in supporting Torres Strait Islanders. Together, we can protect our island homes, our cultures and our shared future.

Our vision is for a healthy planet supporting thriving communities, not billionaire's bank accounts. But big polluting mining companies are making huge profits and benefiting from subsidised diesel fuel. Coal giant BHP got $622 million in public money from this fuel rebate last year. It's outrageous. If the government capped the scheme at $50 million per company, the biggest mining companies would pay tax while still allowing farmers to access a rebate. It's a policy shift that just makes sense.   Sign the petition today asking Prime Minister Albanese to cap the diesel fuel tax credit to make sure that big polluters pay their fair share of tax.
