Australia: Stand for climate action

To MPs:

We urge you to remain strong in your support for the carbon price, despite the pressure from dirty businesses and the Murdoch press. With this law Australia will catch up in the global clean economy race, building a more innovative and resilient country.

Australia: Stand for climate action

Our government is about to pass a clever climate bill -- it will cut carbon emissions and get polluters to pay. But big businesses, backed by Rupert Murdoch, are trying to kill it.

The carbon pricing law is a win-win measure -- it will charge polluters to generate more resources for working families, and help us catch up with the rest of the world in the clean economy race. But Murdoch's media megaphone has teamed up with a $10 million multinational advertising campaign to sway public opinion against the bill and scare our MPs. Now, it's up to us to turn the tide and show our MPs that the law has massive support before the vote.

Together our voices are more powerful than money -- if enough of us join this urgent call we can show our MPs that Australians support the bill and push them to act. Sign the urgent petition to back the carbon price and share it with everyone -- when we reach 20,000 signatures, we’ll deliver it to MPs and run inspiring radio ads on popular radio shows to counter the skewed propaganda.
