Help call on the government to actually govern: act in the interests of current and future generation, not corporations ripping us off and trashing our future.

"In Prime Minister Albanese’s address to the nation, those of us who bravely face roo-bar-armoured utes driven by careless, phone-wielding, texting drivers with nothing but a polystyrene helmet for protection got no mention."

Peak load tipped to double as industries flock to Australia's world-first 100 pct renewables grid Peak demand is expected to double over the next decade as industries flock to take advantage of the world's first 100 pct net renewable grid built around wind and solar.

Grasping opportunity. Just imagine, rather than clinging to harmful, old solutions, WA could also transition to 100% #renewableenergy.
