Australia should be building Vanadium Redox Battery farms around all major towns and Cities so that Green energy is stored where it is need most. Vanadium Redox Batteries were invented by an Australian scientist 30 years ago and are now being produced in a mega factory in China.

Again another great Australian Invention being exploited by another country.

Land stewardship instead

Fracking and resultant gas production is at best a very short term option for rent seeking conglomerates at the expense of the immediate threat of g,obal warming. Why is this so difficult to grasp and actually respond appropriately.

I would like to see the money used to move from coal and gas to renewables.

Stop fracking – it’s dangerous and represents old thinking and a way to look after the government’s ‘friends’

. Renewables should be the energy of choice for us and for future generations.

There are so many non-fracking projects that need assistance in Australia. Don’t waste public money on a few permanently destructive fracking options when the equivalent expenditure can do so much more long-term for renewables, primary producers and tourism / first nations opportunities.

I would much rather see the money spent on cementing Australia in the forefront of the coming renewable energy bonanza rather than being branded as the World’s leading Laggard.

All fracking involves serious risks to ground water. It is not worth causing permanent damage for short term gain. We need to leave gas behind and concentrate on renewable energy that does not destroy the planet.

Stop the frack

When the gas is taken, what happens to the contaminated ground water and the damaged soil surrounding the drill sites. Short term gains but NOT sustainable. Sustainability needs to be the new mindset of all governance and businesses in this country and the world

I would rather see the Australian government use taxpayer’s money in converting fossil fuel companies into Renewable energy hubs and then proceeding to help large and small businesses get off gas. Also supporting First Nations organisations and businesses working on country, and contribute more money to disaster relief! Finally, how about we stop building so many million/billion dollar high-rises on the Gold Coast and Brisbane and build more shelters for the homeless and victims of domestic violence! Thank you x

THERE IS ONLY ONE ENVIRONMENT!

I would rather see money spent on clean energy, cleaning up the environment, clean agriculture, clean water … a clean and healthy Australia.

Spend the money on: Renewable energy projects and battery storage

Supporting First Nations organisations and businesses working on country

Funding community projects in your neighbourhood

Remember premier McGowan you practice fairness, honesty, trust the interest to the public

We must take prompt and extensive action to minimise additional climate change and its consequences, consequences that if honestly acknowledged already make Covid-19 look inconsequential as a world problem.


Crucial for this, the phasing out of all fossil fuels needs to accelerate dramatically. That environmentally responsible position is now absolutely championed by science, economics, industry, financiers, insurers and the majority of the people in general. And thankfully, at last, by many now responsible countries. Using “gas-fired” and “recovery” in the same sentence is a nonsense, and there is simply no excuse for promoting any new fossil fuel extraction activities anywhere in the world. Existing supplies are more than adequate to facilitate the transition to renewables and to cushion the transition of fossil fuel jobs to other areas.


The most likely result of new fossil fuel activity will be development of stranded assets, and that will eventually stop production in any case – but further spoiling the environment to establish stranded assets doesn’t seem like much of a plan.


There will be plenty of job opportunities in other mining activities, the developing renewable energy industry, and hopefully in the resurgence of manufacturing and creation of a truly functioning, worthwhile and robust economy, to comfortably ensure no one needs to be significantly disadvantaged in the transition process.


Economists now clearly see the financial benefits of the transition to clean energy and that the previously threatened costs were always unsubstantiated. But even if there was to be a cost it should be seen as an absolutely essential one, as the cost of exacerbated environmental failure will dwarf any short-term costs in reaching a zero carbon goal.

Australians need renewables right now as tomorrow may be too late.

Industry mining responsibly to manufacture batteries here for the future power needs including storage

Assisting the oil and gas industry is absolutely the last thing taxpayer money should be spent on. If it needs subsidies, it should not be going ahead! I would like money spent on threatened habitat and species conservation, weed management, renewable energy projects and supporting our local tourism industry.

Gas fracking projects WILL destroy our water resources, destroy our vulnerable farmlands resulting in fractured communities and neighbourhoods.

I support renewable energy projects that sustain our environment and our communities. I support the development of a green economy.

If the big banks won’t finance gas fracking why would the Government invest in a dangerous and unviable industry? It just doesn’t add up!

If the government thinks throwing money at the fracking industry will help with their mantra of “jobs, jobs, jobs,….” they have major problems. Taxpayers money should be spent on more worthy causes eg. education (universities), health (doctors in rural area areas), aged care (staffing levels), where the jobs will make a difference.

Just another demonstration of the dangerous influence of the fossil fuel industry over our corrupt government.
