https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/albanese-is-all-talk-no-action-on-climate-20260922-p60zet.html?ref=rss " Albanese is all talk, no action on climate Anthony Albanese opens Climate Week in New York with a clarion call about climate action. “We need to meet the problem head on” and “unfortunately, without strong action” climate disasters will get worse (“Albanese takes climate warning to New York, but fossil fuel experts test credibility”, September 22). Yet his actions at home are anything but strong. Australia, the world’s third-largest fossil fuel exporter, is still approving new fossil fuel projects, has a Clayton’s carbon offset system, has a 43 per cent target for emissions reduction that is not enforceable, and gives billions to fossil fuel companies through diesel rebates and direct project funding. Like his gambling advertising reforms and government transparency, he talks the big talk, but his actions speak otherwise. Rowan Godwin, Rozelle PM Albanese must surely have developed a thick skin after 30 years in politics. How else could a leader proclaim the need for greater measures to curb global warming in front of an international audience, despite having approved 37 fossil fuel projects since assuming office? Admittedly, Australia’s dependence on fossil fuels is trending downwards, but any reduction is offset by an increase in our coal exports. No doubt this is facilitated by more than $1 million in donations from the fossil fuel industry before to the 2025 election. Roger Epps, Armidale I welcome Prime Minister Albanese standing up on the world stage and acknowledging that our climate is warming and that we need to meet the problem head on. But since coming to office, the government has approved multiple new, expanded or extended coal, oil and gas developments. If Australia is going to call on the rest of the world to confront climate change, we need to confront it at home, too. That means stopping the approval of new or expanded fossil fuel projects. Our actions need to match our words.
