Australia is ideally placed to take advantage of the transition to clean energy - our large continent and variety of renewable sources ensures that we can generate far more energy than we need, to export clean energy and energy intensive products to the world.

Leadership and collaboration with the international community are required in order to reduce greenhouse concentrations globally.

We support:

- Setting an 800% renewable energy target, and establish a national grid to distribute renewable energy.
- Build and incentivise clean energy export markets, and disincentivise greenhouse-intensive imports and products.
- Investing in research and development, to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels, and make Australia the global leader in clean technology.

Climate Emergency

For decades the need for reducing carbon emissions has been known. Now, we have reached the point of emergency. We have passed any point that could be regarded as safe, and must not only reduce emissions to zero, but also draw down existing greenhouse gases to reduce their overall concentrations. Preventing catastrophe will require action across all sectors of the world’s economies, and will require decisive action to take advantage of all options still open to us.

@sister_ratched Very true. I am particularly careful, if I am talking Oz to make sure that I am in context. At least we have a Mastodon #auspol and #AusPol2022. I have chosen to be on a US server because I have a strong interest in the tech discussions and #photography so it makes it harder for local stuff. Oh well, you win some and lose some! You may consider moving to a more Oz-centric server. Suggestions at https://peak.nz/2022/11/11/australian-mastodon-server-instances/

Irony reached hitherto unseen levels today when Keneally called out Rudd from being a narcissist.

So i guess this is where everyone is now. #Auspol2022 #auspol

Did you know: there are protesters in Australia who allegedly committed acts that just a few months ago would have been legally considered minor traffic offences, yet who are now facing months or years locked up, and are currently under bail conditions that effectively prevent them from going online at all, from being able to contact many/most of their friends, and who are subject to the complete loss of any right to privacy (being able to have all their devices searched by police at any point, and they must share any passwords)? And all this without yet having been convicted of any crime, while awaiting trial for alleged offences that just nine months ago would have most likely been resolved with a fine of a few hundred dollars.

"You are welcome to argue that Australia's state and federal governments (along with the police) are not simply the armed wing of the #FossilFuelIndustry... Write your explanation on a postcard and mail it to your grandchildren"

@oliverromain Making interest paid by #landlords on their extra houses tax deductible was done in Australia in the 1990s and it significantly accelerated inequality (esp generational inequality) by pushing up property prices. This might sound great in the short term if you're hoarding houses, but comes back to bite everyone in a thousand different ways. It's a dangerous trap. Rates of home ownership have plummeted as more houses end up in fewer hands.
Adam Smith and Karl Marx agree on this one: landlords are hoarding a necessity and are not a legit business.
Want to save rural towns? Campaign to abolish tax breaks on interest for those selling holiday accommodation. And for the principle that #HousingIsAHumanRight that comes before anyone's right to maximise personal or corporate profit.
