As the Federal Member for Corangamite, it’s my view that we should be aiming to phase out fossil fuel use and get to Net Zero as soon as possible.  

This has always been my position and I will not waiver on this principle. It’s clear that we cannot draw out our reliance on fossil fuels any longer than necessary and that no public money should be spent on new gas or coal projects.  

The Government’s position is clear – get to net zero by 2050 or sooner, and only use gas to firm renewables as needed.  

Our future lies in renewable energy and the Albanese Government is fully committed to transitioning Australia to a net-zero economy.  

Since coming to office, our government has given the green light to a historic 46 renewable energy projects with another 130 in the pipeline. As a result, we’ve seen a 25% increase in renewable energy in the National Electricity Market. This is important progress but there’s so much more to do.  

I will continue to stand with my community in driving positive change for our climate.
