The EPBC is a planning instrument and while this bill is stronger with the Greens’ amendments, it will not secure a safe climate and protect biodiversity. The most important contribution Australia can make to stabilising our climate is committing to no new gas and no new coal. It’s time for Resources Minister Madeleine King, Climate

The Australia Institute is calling on the Albanese Government to redirect the billion dollars saved by not hosting COP31 to Pacific nations.

New Australia Institute analysis shows that over the past five years the Australian government has allowed the export of enough gas to supply Australia for more than 20 years.

In August, The Australia Institute welcomed the Tasmanian Liberal Party’s promise to conduct an independent study into the salmon industry, pausing marine expansion while the review is carried out.

The ABC’s report that a top statistician quit a study into whether Woodside’s North West Shelf gas plant was destroying the Murujuga rock art after the WA government misrepresented its findings, is extremely concerning.

Local government revenue is not keeping pace with the rapidly rising costs of climate change, according to new analysis by The Australia Institute.

It‘s been revealed that Santos’ Darwin LNG gas export terminal has been leaking large amounts of climate-destroying methane gas for 20 years – and gas companies and governments have failed to act. This confirms The Australia Institute’s long-held concern that methane emissions are grossly underestimated and Australia’s regulators have been captured by the gas industry. The reporting
