Your government's inaction on the climate crisis now threatens the 60,000 jobs that rely on the Great Barrier Reef. You won't commit even to net zero by 2050—and now the National Party certainly won't let you do that—but the rest of the world is focused on 2030, and the G7 has called for strong 2030 targets and no new investment in fossil fuels. When will you put the interests of the environment, the economy and our tourism sector ahead of the interests of your fossil fuel donors?
