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 🏠 Flood-proofed homes and relocation of homes 🏛️ Upgraded community halls and evacuation centres 🌳 Safe, air-conditioned and resourced public spaces for the vulnerable in our community 🚒 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 City of Wollongong who will be encouraged to table it as part of a successful Polluter Pays motion.

We need to tackle the climate crisis and make affordable, sustainable energy available to everyone.

Darwin knows what care looks like.  We know how to feed families and whole communities with a line and a hook. We know how to stand together and make sure no one is left behind.  That spirit is under threat. Greedy fossil fuel corporations want to dredge our harbour, pollute our seas, and poison our water — all to make a quick buck. The proposed expansion of the Middle Arm gas hub risks destroying the very things that make Darwin home.  It doesn’t have to be this way. The Federal Labor Government has a responsibility to the people of Darwin and to Larrakia Country. Instead of throwing $1.9 billion of public money into a polluting gas hub, the government must fund what truly sustains us — a safe climate and thriving communities. That money could protect what we love: clean seas, a living harbour, restored creeks, cooling forests, and families with secure futures. Darwin life is unique, vibrant, and abundant. We know how to make a lot with a little. We know how to care for each other and for Country. Tell the Federal Labor Government to throw a line to our future — protect Darwin Harbour from pollution and greed, and invest in a First Nations‑led future that cares for people and Country.
