Please do not cave to the LNC's plans to repeal the price on carbon. Please stick to your guns with the courage required of real leadership. Please argue the case as strongly as you can.

It is critical we mitigate climate change as best we can so we do not leave a legacy of constant bush fires, wild weather, droughts and a depleted ocean for our grandchildren. It is utterly shameful that the Australian Government is dismantling the Clean Energy Legislation. The Direct Action Plan has some good things in it but is nowhere near enough to get our emissions down significantly. More importantly, of course, we should be ending coal exports as soon as possible because the potential emissions from the Galilee Basin coal will make us, in effect, the seventh biggest emitter in the world.
