New data released by the Copernicus Climate Change Service shows the world continues to warm up as the government and opposition continue to avoid doing anything substantive about climate change.
Meanwhile the cost of renewables continues to fall below the price of maintaining our creaking old coal plants and EV production ramps up. Even ignoring climate change modernising our energy sector is the best option for our economy and energy security.
Our plan
- Raise the tax free threshold to $37,000 and other tax reforms to help low and middle income earners.
- Add a $30/tonne carbon tax, stop subsidising fossil fuels and other climate action measures.
- Encourage the uptake of EV’s and other transport reforms to reduce our dependence on imported fossil fuels.
