Over the past decade Australia’s LNG exports have boomed, with Australia now one of the top three global exporters of LNG. The gas industry is responsible for 10% of Australia’s domestic emissions, and emissions from burning the gas we export are greater still. To prevent catastrophic climate change, along with rapidly phasing out coal, we must prevent the expansion of Australia’s gas sector and accelerate its decline.
You are a strategic thinker, passionate about creating the conditions required to achieve campaign wins with national impact. Skilled in navigating complex political landscapes, you can demonstrate your experience in translating big-picture ideas into concrete legislative and policy outcomes.
