Scott Morrison has announced his Government’s “gas-led economic recovery” plan and instead of investing in our communities, they’re handing out millions of taxpayer dollars to the dirty gas industry. This will lock climate-cooking gas into our energy grid for decades and delay the transition to renewable energy that could help Australian communities thrive.

The Federal Budget is only weeks away from being announced. We need to show Government decision-makers like Treasurer Josh Frydenberg that their toxic gas plan does not have public support right now!

Here are some helpful talking points if you get stuck:

Introduce yourself and explain why you’re concerned about a publicly-funded gas-led recovery

• I’m concerned about the announcement that the Government plans to hand out millions of taxpayer dollars to the gas industry.
• Gas is a fossil fuel - it will accelerate the climate crisis Australians are still experiencing and recovering from. 
• The Australian people should not be paying for gas industry infrastructure like pipelines or underwriting gas projects. This is risky and reckless!
• We have a unique opportunity to prioritise climate solutions and build the infrastructure we know we already need and we’re going to need in the future. 
• The COVID recovery should be investing in renewable energy and clean job creation for the communities hit hardest by the multiple crises of this year.
