Their new leader, Matt Canavan, recently declared we “need to build coal fired power stations again” and want to “kill net zero”.
So today, we’re pleased to announce the Canavan Climate Trust: a project to ensure every voter in Liberal electorates knows just who calls the shots on the Coalition's climate policy ahead of the next election.
Canavan may be a fossil fuel champion to his social media followers and on Sky after Dark, but his comments are toxic in the urban seats his Coalition relies on to form government. Some in the Liberal Party have rushed to distance themselves from the decision — Tim Wilson telling Sky News yesterday that he isn’t just “National Party-lite”. He knows his seat is at risk.
But we’ve been here before. The Nats set the Liberal Party policy on the Voice referendum. The Nats set the Liberal Party policy on nuclear power. And now the Nats want to set the Liberal Party’s climate policy.
So, our team is clipping up the worst of Canavan’s anti-climate comments as we speak.
Every single cent will go towards raising billboards and buying ad spots on TV and online in the lead-up to the 2028 federal election. Together, we can make sure every single voter in marginal Liberal electorates is aware of just how much the Nationals have done for the coal industry.
If the Coalition can’t offer a credible climate policy, they should suffer for it.
Donate today and help shine a light on Canavan’s climate denial.
We are very excited to support Climate 200 and strongly agree with their goals for action on climate, integrity, and diversity. After meeting the team at Climate 200, we know that they will make sure that every dollar donated is well-targeted and will make a real difference in getting more independent voices into Parliament.
We are proud to support Climate 200 in its mission to support local communities and their independent candidates fighting for action on climate change, equality and integrity. We need our political representation to respond to the concerns of its citizens. We know we are better together and hope you join us in this push for a safe climate and fairer future for all.
We’re frustrated and embarrassed with the lack of meaningful action at the federal level in Australia to address the Climate Emergency. We strongly feel there is a need for more people in the federal government that have the integrity and the independence to act in the interests of future generations. Please join us in supporting the work being done by Climate 200 at this pivotal point.
