The Rudd Government announced their first Budget this week yet severely missed the opportunity to address vital climate change issues, instead continuing to fund polluters with over $3bn worth of subsidies per year to fossil fuel industries.
As reports emerge highlighting
the need for urgent action on climate change to slow global warming, GetUp is urging members to use the billions of dollars worth of tax cuts outlined in the Budget to
fight climate change.
