The Australian Conservation Council – No more fossil fuel subsidies
Our governments have spent over $40 billion supporting the continued expansion of the fossil fuel industry through subsidies and tax breaks – and that’s a conservative estimate – since the Black Summer fires of 2019-2020. Our governments cannot keep funding the industries that are most responsible for climate damage and for putting our communities and wildlife at risk.

Choice – Sign the petition for fair and affordable insurance – in a climate crisis
Insurance is essential in helping people and communities recover and rebuild when disaster strikes. As climate change increases the frequency and severity of extreme weather events like bushfires, floods, storms and cyclones, nobody should be left without insurance or unsure if their home is covered. New CHOICE research has found that two in five home and contents policyholders have been impacted by an extreme weather event (including bush fires) in the past five years, but the insurance market is failing to cover the risks of these events fairly and affordably.

Opinions differ on these and many other points. Prof Zylstra and his students have been investigating many aspects of this management technique, leading to some very interesting conclusions.
