Federal Labor's new gas 'strategy' is a shameful plan for climate disaster & a throwback to the Scott Morrison era.

Labor’s “Future Gas Strategy” is a future climate disaster…hard to believe in 2024 we still have governments pretending we just need to expand fossil fuel production to “help tackle climate change”. This is bad science, bad economics and i suspect bad politics #auspol #climate

Hold on a second 😳👀

Labor has announced a so-called strategy to extend the life of climate-wrecking gas well beyond 2050.

This is a giant step back to a dark past, terrible for our climate future and it must be abandoned.
