We are promoting a #SwelteringCities petiton on Cooling standards needed for Victorian Renters.

Renters in particular are feeling #extremeheat in their own homes and often need to go elsewhere to find cooling relief. This petition is addressed to the Victorian Government to set minimum cooling standards for rental accommodation in Victoria.

The great deluge: Australia’s new era of unnatural disasters | Climate Council

2022 will be remembered as the year of the Great Deluge, when record-breaking rain and floods lashed large parts of Eastern Australia, causing untold devastation for Australians and our economy. This report is a stark warning that this is not over yet, and a call for all levels of government to speed up their emission reductions and disaster preparation efforts.
