Thousands of Labor members have thrown their weight behind a challenge to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to take stronger action on climate change and develop new policies to respond to mammoth subsidies for renewable energy in the United States.

I have spent decades waiting for either major party to do anything substantive but the coal mining money flows too fast for either to care.

I expect the greens to gain more seats in both houses at the next election as more grow tired of the empty rhetoric of the majors.

The thing is, we are currently in Economic doldrums. I’m not an economist, but it wouldn’t surprise me if we are in a recession.

This is the perfect opportunity to prop up the economy with a big green push.

We have hundreds of small innovative companies trying to find new solutions, but they are getting no government assistance.

Government funding is being sucked up by established destructive Primary Industry players and Scammers offering defective Solar panels, LED globes and Spray-in insulation.

Cool good luck Labor members but it's gonna be super hard if your party keeps taking donations from fossil fuel companies. Oh and good luck convincing them not to open new coal and gas mines.
