There are only a few days of carbon price negotiations to go. In a recent news article, Federal Independent Rob Oakshott said renewable energy is one of the final sticking points in the carbon price negotiations. Independent Tony Windsor is saying the deal may be signed off “next week”.
Our leaders need to hear from us right now, as Australians looking for a strong renewable energy outcome from the carbon price talks.
We want billions of dollars to flow into growing renewable energy projects across the country, harnessing our solar, wind, wave and geothermal potential, creating new jobs and pollution-free power.
Today is the day for you to make a quick phone call.
At this critical moment in time, it's so important elected leaders hear community support for renewable energy. And a direct phone call is one of the most powerful ways we can tell our decision makers what we want.
Yes, a phone call is a little daunting. But it really is as easy as leaving a quick message with their office receptionist. And your call will get their attention.
Phone call talking points:
- Tell them your name and where you are from,
- You have read renewable energy is a sticking point in the negotiations,
- You support a carbon price package that will deliver strong outcomes for renewable energy,
- Professor Garnaut has advised $2-3 billion of carbon price revenue should be directed into renewable energy, and you hope they support his position.
