14.05.2022 Pollution from Australian coal-burning power stations was recently estimated to kill 785 people every year, as well as causing 14,434 instances of children experiencing asthma symptoms and 845 babies to be born with low birth weight... leading to around $640m-$1.4bn in health costs per year." Coal pollution is deadly and costly - and top medical professionals from the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners have joined calls for an urgent transition to clean energy.

25.01.2022 SHAME! Mark Latham is doing the bidding of vested interests and trying to stop the most ambitious clean energy transition plan Australia has ever seen from being legislated in the NSW Parliament risking 9,000 new clean energy jobs This comes as coal baron Trevor St Baker warns of legal action if the renewable plan is passed. Coming from the same man who bought the Vales Point coal station from the NSW Government for $1 million when it was later valued at $730 million. It’s a joke! Matt Kean MP thank you for standing up against vested interests and paving the way for NSW to be a clean energy superpower!

24.01.2022 A thriving 'green steel' industry would create 25,000 long-term jobs in regional Queensland and NSW but for this to happen we need governments to back more clean energy and renewable hydrogen production. Annastacia Palaszczuk MP and Deb Frecklington MP with the Queensland election fast approaching, what would your government do to power this new job-rich industry?

22.01.2022 Disgraceful! The Federal Government wants to use Australia's Green Bank as a fossil fuel slush fund It'll give Federal Energy Minister Angus Taylor power to use the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) to bankroll risky gas projects. The vote will come down to three Senate crossbenchers: Jacqui Lambie, Stirling Griff and Rex Patrick. ... The Government will be pressuring the crossbench to pass the laws. Can you contact Lambie, Griff or Patrick's office and say you'll back them to oppose Taylor's polluting gas plans?
