Australians love solar power and it’s not hard to see why. As one of the sunniest countries in the world, harnessing our endless sunshine to power our homes and businesses with clean, affordable energy just makes sense. It’s no wonder we’re the world leader in rooftop solar. Already, more than 3.6 million Aussie households have taken control of their power bills by putting solar panels on their rooftops.

Description At the moment, Australia's car-centric transport system leaves too many people with little choice in how to get around. For decades, governments have prioritised the use of private cars in transport planning and investment. Too often, this means people have no other way to get around. This is driving harmful climate pollution while also making the streets more congested, dangerous and polluted. Australians are clear that they want better transport options and more choice.

Australia’s shift to clean energy is well underway. Already, around 40 percent of the electricity in our main national grid comes from reliable clean energy sources, like solar and wind. More than 3.5 million Aussies have solar on the roof, and households are disconnecting from gas like never before. To slash climate pollution further and faster while delivering a more affordable and resilient energy system, we need to accelerate this momentum. So let’s talk about gas.

Federal and state budgets are a yearly exercise in setting out government priorities and explaining plans to tackle big social challenges and community needs. Hardly anyone except a handful of nerds reads the budget papers cover-to-cover. But they play an important role in shaping ‘the vibe’ around what needs attention, and spotlighting emerging risks — like future changes in the value of Australia’s exports, or our ageing population.

As we approach the mid-point of this make-or-break decade for our climate, the stakes have never been higher. In 2023 – the world’s hottest year on record – Australians experienced ‘climate whiplash’, hurled from flooding rains to heatwaves to fierce fires, and back again. This is our new reality, underlining the urgent need to slash climate pollution from coal, oil, and gas further and faster right now. Momentum is building, and we’re making important progress in some areas.
