The new Government is getting on with the job of fixing the energy crisis, working with the sector and the states.
Meanwhile, advice from the previous government on energy is like the Captain of the Titanic giving navigation tips.

After nine years of denial and delay, the former government promised a gas-fired recovery but Australians got a gas bin fire
The Albanese Government will work cooperatively with States, Territories and industry on the current gas and energy crisis

Business wants the LNP to back the Labor Government’s climate and energy policy.
Will the LNP listen?
Nine years of denial and delay caused this problem, Labor will get on with the job of fixing it.

Albanese to the Quad: "We will act in recognition that climate change is the main economic and security challenge for the island countries of the Pacific. Australia will set a new target to reduce emissions by 43% by 2030, putting us on track for net zero by 2050." #AusPol

The community of Reid voted for action on climate change
Quote Tweet
A big thank you to all our volunteers who put our message out at booths all across #Reid on Saturday and at pre-polling, along with our colleagues from @CCBalroz and @GetUp. Climate was clearly a huge reason for the election of @sallysitou and the new Labor government!

For forty years, Trevor Ross has held held a hose as a local firefighter.
He’s always turned up when our Western Sydney community has needed him. Now we need him as Member for Lindsay.
Honoured to stand with him on pre-poll today.
Let’s get it done on May 21.

Flood victims still can’t get grants or homes, but Morrison’s close mate, disaster chief Shane Stone, holds a two-day “talkfest” for his 215 staff, complete with awards and lavish meals. This Govt is so out of touch - we have to kick them out.

Brisbane’s iconic Toombul Shopping Centre to permanently close after recent floods, costing 100s of businesses/workers their livelihoods. Meanwhile, Scott Morrison has a $4.8B disaster fund that hasn’t built a single disaster mitigation project in 3 years.

Labor hasn’t won Sturt since 1969 (four years before I was born!)
But Sonja Baram is working hard to make history
Great to join her campaign today. If you live in or near Sturt please do the same!
Three days to go to throw Morrison out and give Australia a better Government.

Labor hasn’t won the seat of Boothby since the 1940s.
But this Saturday, history can be made.
If you’re in Adelaide, please get behind Louise Miller-Frost - Labor for Boothby. I joined her on pre-poll today and there was lots of support for her.
Let’s get it done on May 21!

We know they are lying about what they will do to reduce emissions & everyday & the fake modern liberals lie about what they have done
Morrison’s looseness with the truth seems to be contagious
The only way to get action on climate change is to change the Govt

🧵 After two decades the Liberals and Nationals are still addicted to toxic and dishonest climate scare campaigns.
Why won’t they:
- increase 2030 targets
- cut EV taxes
- upgrade the grid
Because their net zero commitment is a scam not a plan.

Western Sydney was in lockdown for longer because Scott Morrison didn’t do his job and order enough vaccines. He refuses to take responsibility and blames others for his mistakes. It’s time for a change and a better future for all Australians.
