Parliamentary Friends of Climate Action does important work. Proud that we had a role initiating this parliamentary group some years ago.

Great op ed John Hewson 👏 A price on pollution PLUS returning the dividends to households is working (incl. politically) in Canada. It could work here too.

Bravo Tom Hunt 👏 A tireless Citizens' Climate Lobby Australia campaigner on #climatedividend . Now also sailing his message in #Canberra & hoping '...a national apology will motivate politicians to take action.' canberraweekly.com.au/canberra-grand…

Thanks Dr Sophie Scamps MP for meeting with Mackellar members this week to discuss #climatedividend - an essential policy solution for AU to meet its emissions reduction targets.

Did you notice yesterday's doodle on Google? It celebrated the 204th birthday of American scientist Eunice Newton Foote - the first person to discover the greenhouse effect and its role in the warming of Earth’s climate. See google.com/doodles/eunice…

In Norway they tax the fossil fuel industry & give free university education to young people. In Australia we subsidise the fossil fuels & charge people a fortune to go to uni…decisions about taxing & spending are much more important than droning on about budget deficits #auspol

The fossil fuel industry desperately needs a predictably-rising carbon price to smooth their inevitable phase-down. It's just that most of them don't know it yet.

'...taxpayers are subsidising both carbon pollution (fossil fuel subsidies) & decarbonisation (clean energy incentives) at the same time'.

Jim Chalmers MP While the #FederalBudget contains welcome temporary power bill relief and measures for some households and businesses to tap into renewables, it doesn’t meet the scale of the climate emergency Australia faces. #Auspol

Last week CCL WA members met with MP for Hasluck, Tania Lawrence for an exchange of ideas on the Safeguard Mechanism, electrification, community batteries & climate dividends.

CCL members also meet with Senators too! It was a pleasure to meet WA Fatima Payman last week to introduce the concept of Climate Dividends to her. She must have liked what she heard because we've been invited back!

Thanks @samlimmp for meeting with CCL Tangney members recently. A fruitful discussion on the Safeguard Mechanism, EVs & our key policy ask: Climate Dividend (carbon pricing with a dividend returned to households) #ClimateAction #climatedividend

Lucky Canadians! Let's move towards this in Australia Chris Bowen.

How does our new EV strategy stack up? The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand highlights what's good, what's missing & how it compares with other countries. theconversation.com/australia-fina…

Great to see Australia finally has a national electric vehicle strategy, after years of lagging behind. Plenty still to be done and more details needed, but this is a positive step for reducing our transport emissions.

The Safeguard Mechanism (aka carbon pricing) sends '...clear commercial signal for Woodside to invest in decarbonisation.'

Call it by another name, but we now have an official price on carbon 👏 The Safeguard Mechanism is a relatively weak form of CO2 pricing but improvements make it more effective for emissions ⬇️. Read our blog from Rod Mitchell ccl.org.au/wisps-of-clari… @bowenchris  Senator Jenny McAllister
