Fossil fuels, Atlas Network and the far right – Around the world, the far right has been empowered by the fossil fuel industry. Coal, gas and oil emit huge amounts of greenhouse gases, causing the climate to change. The industry has poured $$billions into spreading misinformation about renewables.
Nannas’ View
As a group, Nannas will be working to raise public awareness of the importance of this election for our future and asking people to vote for candidates who will take action to save the climate, water and biodiversity. We will advocate for an end to native forest logging, and a fair transition from fossil fuel mining and exports to renewables.
We are alarmed by the policies of the Opposition, the Liberal-National Coalition, because we believe:
- they aim to disrupt and slow down the development and uptake of renewable energy
- they are not offering credible solutions to the inequality crisis
- they are trying to divide our society using the playbook used by right-wing populists around the world
- their nuclear policy is a distraction tactic aimed at delaying our transition away from coal and gas.
