They\u2019ve promised to expand ocean sanctuaries, and modestly increase nature spending. They\u2019ve also promised to try again to overhaul our national nature laws but have offered no detail on how this will be different to the failed attempt to do so last term. Labor plans to significantly boost renewable energy including a big rebate for people to install household batteries to soak up and use excess solar power. They have rejected nuclear reactors. But they have fallen far short on rejecting new coal and gas mines, the biggest drivers of global heating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-beige-100-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-3 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Ugly<\/h2>\n<p>The Coalition (Liberals and Nationals) are downright terrible on climate and nature. They would build dangerous and risky nuclear reactors across Australia, prolonging the use of dirty coal and gas in the meantime. They would fastrack toxic gas developments including Woodside\u2019s Burrup Hub, scrap car pollution standards, and weaken industry carbon pollution rules. The Coalition opposes strengthening national nature laws and wants to boost native forest logging by creating special logging zones. Honestly, it\u2019s one of the worst climate and nature platforms I\u2019ve seen put forward by the Coalition in two decades.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">That\u2019s it!<\/h2>\n<p>Happy voting.
