What’s the webinar about?
This action webinar will remind us, that Governments’ policies for massive gas expansion across Australia will be devastating for climate and environment. It will also bring to our attention that a renewable path is not only possible but of great benefit to us all. Most of all, as the federal election campaign is upon us, the webinar aims to inspire and assist us in our local federal election campaigns to challenge policies promoting gas expansion.

About the Beyond Gas Network
The Beyond Gas Network is a volunteer network of grassroots climate action networks that originated in the east and south east of Melbourne. It has now established links to groups and organisations in other parts of Victoria, NSW, Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia. and through our groups’ email lists reaches audiences of tens of thousands.

We believe if citizens were more aware of the scale and impact of policies for gas expansion, many would withdraw support from candidates who support these plans. Hence in the lead-up to the election we plan to highlight the devastating impact on the climate and environment of these decisions that will ultimately be made in our name.
