The world is rapidly approaching 1.5 degrees of warming, but here in Mackay we're already feeling this heat.

We need your help in keeping our communities cool - by keeping coal in the ground!

By working together we can ensure that Central Queensland is the green standard, globally, when it comes to meaningful action on climate change. Politicians and companies alike need to know that the communities at the forefront of climate change are demanding real action to protect our environment, our health, our livelihoods and our families.

We are demanding:

  1. No new coal projects or coal mine extensions.
  2. Greater protection for areas surrounding coal mining operations - and stronger punishments for the companies that breach them.
  3. More government-funded, publicly-owned renewable projects for the region 
  4. A comprehensive, community-backed plan for transitioning to a renewable economy.

Email Prime Minister Albanese - No Public Backing for the Coal Industry's Mutual Insurance Fund

The coal mining industry is demanding that tax-payers back the creation of a mutual insurance fund - because the sector is becoming increasingly uninsurable!

Recently, coal lobbyists have asked both the government to make an election commitment to back this fund - which could potentitally cost the Australian people upwards of $1 billion.

Insurance and finance services are divesting from coal because they know how risky and damaging it can be. We need Anthony Albanese to rule out public-backing of this insurance scheme now. 

The first step in ensuring no new coal or coal mining extensions is ensuring that the Australian people are not stuck with the insurance bill.
