Next Steps to #FixTheAct  

Now that your voices have been included in the 7 recommendations of the Independent Review of the Tas Climate Change Act, lets make sure that the Tas parliament implements them in full.

Your local MP needs to hear from you (contact details here). Call or write, asking that they support implementation of the Review recommendations.

You can also show some love and thank these MPs for their support of Helen Burnet's Climate Change motion that passed on 15 April: Tabatha Badger, Vica Bayley, Shane Broad, Meg Brown, Helen Burnet , Jen Butler, Anita Dow, Janie Finlay, Craig Garland, Peter George, Jess Greene, Ella Haddad, Kristie Johnston, Brian Mitchell, David O'Byrne, George Razay, Cecily Rosol, Josh Willie, Dean Winter & Rosalie Woodruff 

Our MPs won't know what we think unless we tell them.

  • Australia cannot control global conflicts, but we can control how much they hurt household budgets. Climate Council article + Report   

  • Senate Inquiry Report is out: mis and disinformation is hurting communities and causing conflict. [Clean Energy Council] [Guardian] [ABC]

Stuff about you and us

We're keen to hear from you. 

We have a short anonymous survey to see how you, our members and supporters, are feeling about TCC. 

Please let us know - it's our first ever survey of this kind and we're a bit excited about it!
 
Responses will help make TCC work better for our community and State. 

The survey will close on May 6th.

Stuff you know about that we don't

Have you heard about something we could include? A book? A film? A podcast? .....or just want to send us a cheerio? We'd love to hear from you. Send us a line.  
 We acknowledge the traditional owners of lutruwita, the Palawa, their ongoing custodianship of the land, community, sea and waters. We pay our deepest respect to Palawa elders, past and present. Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
