#EnvironmentLaws #FossilFuels #ALP and #Coalition

the #AustraliaInstitute has launched a petition;

they say “Environment Minister Murray Watt is working on a deal to rewrite our federal environment laws. This is necessary, because everyone agrees our existing laws are failing.

But instead of working with the Greens and independents to strengthen them, Labor is seeking a deal with the Coalition. It means Australia’s new environment laws will need the support of climate sceptics like Matt Canavan, who recently called for renewable projects to be replaced by new coal plants.

What we need is strong environment laws that actually bring an end to new coal and gas projects.

Add your name to demand strong environment laws that can stop new coal and gas now!

———

“To the Hon. Murray Watt MP, Minister for the Environment --

The Australian public voted for a climate majority at the last election, and we want strong environment laws that can stop new coal and gas.

Every new coal and gas mine damages nature. We urge you to strengthen – not weaken – Australia's environment laws.
