THE ACT government is the first of its authority in the world to sign a treaty that aims to reduce fossil fuels.
But after an unanimous vote inside the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday (June 2), only support from the federal government that has been propping up coal, oil and gas interests will impact the treaty positively should the Commonwealth dismiss similar future projects.
Greens backbencher Jo Clay moved the motion to join a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty.
ACT is the only Australian jurisdiction that does not subsidise fossil fuel reserves, but its the federal taxpayers that hands over $10.3 billion to an industry “that is wrecking our climate” amid Australia also laying claim to the third biggest exporter in the world of the hydrocarbon fuels.
