| Dear Neville,
Late last night, Labor joined the Abbott government and passed damaging changes to the Renewable Energy Target through the lower house.Bill Shorten cannot let Labor do a deal with the government and pass these changes to the RET — changes that would see us cut investment in renewable energy, lose sustainable jobs and send our native forests up in flames.
Share our petition with your friends now and ask them to join you in calling on the two old parties to protect our native forests.
We must continue to build pressure on Bill Shorten and Labor so they do not support the government’s push to include cutting down and burning up our native forests as so-called ‘renewable energy’.
If the burning of wood from native forests is included in the RET, Labor must stand with the community and vote this legislation down in the Senate. Click here to ask your friends to join you and over 5,600 others and call on Bill Shorten and Tony Abbott to not burn up our native forests and cut investment in real renewable energy.
With Labor’s move last night, the fight to protect our native forests now moves to the Senate. I, with your other Greens Senators, will do everything I can in the Senate to stop this dirty deal between Labor and the government.
Thanks for standing with us,
Janet, with Adam Bandt
Senator Janet Rice
Greens Senator for Victoria |
