Parliamentary Friends of Climate Action does important work. Proud that we had a role initiating this parliamentary group some years ago.
At our Parliamentary Friends of Climate Action Roundtable on Summer Preparedness, Bushfires & National Security, former Defence Chief Admiral Chris Barrie spelled out the scale of national security threat posed by global warming. We must accelerate our climate response. #auspol

Great op ed @JohnRHewson đź‘Ź A price on pollution PLUS returning the dividends to households is working (incl. politically) in Canada. It could work here too. Make the polluters pay https://t.co/uOr8n9Wpht via @SatPaper

Bravo Tom Hunt đź‘Ź A tireless @CCL_Aus campaigner on #climatedividend . Now also sailing his message in #Canberra & hoping '...a national apology will motivate politicians to take action.'

There wasn’t a breath of wind in his sails this morning but still Tom Hunt took to Lake Burley Griffin in his kayak with a strong message: “We’ve wrecked your climate, sorry”.

What can other countries learn from Canada’s carbon pricing policy? Former Minister for Climate @cathmckenna says: “Make it no longer free to pollute and give all the money back.” RU👂@bowenchris?

The fossil fuel industry desperately needs a predictably-rising carbon price to smooth their inevitable phase-down. It's just that most of them don't know it yet. Read the latest blog by CCL chair @Rodmitch5 here: https://t.co/BVSJ8SULET

'...taxpayers are subsidising both carbon pollution (fossil fuel subsidies) & decarbonisation (clean energy incentives) at the same time'. ⏰Time to end this perversity and implement #ClimateDividends says @Rodmitch5 in our latest blog. https://t.co/ouk3N9SbHV

@JEChalmers While the #FederalBudget contains welcome temporary power bill relief and measures for some households and businesses to tap into renewables, it doesn’t meet the scale of the climate emergency Australia faces. #Auspol

CCL members also meet with Senators too! It was a pleasure to meet WA @SenatorPayman last week to introduce the concept of Climate Dividends to her. She must have liked what she heard because we've been invited back! Want to meet an MP? Join here https://t.co/FK0BQI9OtC

How does our new EV strategy stack up? @ConversationEDU highlights what's good, what's missing & how it compares with other countries.

The strategy is long overdue but falls short of meeting the urgent need to accelerate the uptake of electric vehicles.

Great to see Australia finally has a national electric vehicle strategy, after years of lagging behind. Plenty still to be done and more details needed, but this is a positive step for reducing our transport emissions. #ElectricVehicles #EVs

The Safeguard Mechanism (aka carbon pricing) sends '...clear commercial signal for Woodside to invest in decarbonisation.' https://t.co/7eEC0LOxgK
reneweconomy.com.au
Under the new Safeguard rules, the carbon bill alone may kill at least one major gas project that is still in the planning stages.

Call it by another name, but we now have an official price on carbon 👏 The Safeguard Mechanism is a relatively weak form of CO2 pricing but improvements make it more effective for emissions ⬇️. Read our blog from @Rodmitch5

From the basics to the complex, our Playbooks detail the reasons why carbon pricing and climate dividend policies are urgently needed and how they could work.
