The Albanese government's "Future Gas Strategy" is terrible public policy that fails the Australian people and global commitments to address climate change.

“Our Wills Labor MP needs to come clean on whether he supports subsidies for new gas and betray the citizens of Wills on strong climate action or support action for the #climateemergency.” said John Englart.
30 people outside Khalil’s office protesting the #FutureGasStrategy commits #Australia to #FossilGas expansion well beyond 2050.

Here we are with Dad at the climate rally at Treasury Place, Melbourne. A lot of anger about Federal Labor Resources minister Madeleine King releasing Future Gas Strategy which basically continues former Liberal Government support for #FossilGas expansion. Even though climate scientists and IEA say no new coal and gas.
