On climate, governments need to draw a line in the sand

The article discusses the urgent need for Australian governments to take decisive action on climate change, criticizing both major political parties for their inaction.

The piece argues that continued support for fossil fuels undermines climate goals and puts vulnerable communities at risk. It also criticizes the Australian government and opposition parties for prioritizing short-term economic interests over environmental protection, suggesting that such policies benefit fossil fuel companies rather than ordinary citizens.
