A week before we go to the polls we are asking you to join us at Fogarty Park at 3:00PM for Cairns’ Rally for #ClimateActionNow on Saturday May 14th. The Federal Election is in less than one week. The future of our climate hangs in the balance. The science tells us we have a matter of years to act to stop catastrophic climate change. In 2019, the Federal Election was dubbed the Climate Election. We had hoped for stronger action on climate change. But for the last four years, despite the catastrophic fires and the roaring floods that have devastated communities across the country, our Government has remained indifferent in implementing policies to address climate change.
