.@LilyDAmbrosioMP says Victoria will not support any change to the energy market which will prolong the life of coal generators.

Also worth noting that international experience tells us capacity markets have been wildly expensive for consumers. #auspol

@cityofballarat's upcoming Council Plan will be hugely influential in shaping what it does for the next four years - including its level of ambition on climate action, active transport, sustainability and waste. Let them know your priorities here: https://t.co/sW5pgVw0KA

MEDIA RELEASE: The Federal Government's new focus on climate resilience and adaptation, while still refusing to commit to net-zero emissions, is "like calling the fire brigade while setting fire to the house."

We all need to move together : coal needs to be phased out 5x faster than recent trends, the planet’s tree cover to be increased 5x faster, renewable energy to be ramped up 6x faster and a transition to electric vehicles to be 22x faster than present.
