Health and life at risk: Australia’s climate future
Australiaʼs peak body on climate and health is warning the Australian Government itʼs time to get serious on climate action, in response to the release of the first National Climate Risk Assessment.

SYDNEY, Thursday 18 September 2025— Greenpeace Australia Pacific has branded the Albanese government’s new 2035 climate target as weak, dangerous and drastically short of what’s needed to meet the urgency of the climate crisis, exposing communities across Australia and the Pacific to worsening climate disasters.

Greenpeace also states the government’s climate plan is not credible without a…

ACOSS and the community sector called for a science-based and fair share emissions reduction target of net zero (100%) by 2035, 75% would have been an absolute minimum. “The weak target announced today by the Albanese Government falls dangerously short of what the science requires and what is possible,” ACOSS CEO Dr Cassandra Goldie said. “Without greater action, we will face more heatwaves, more floods, a higher cost of living, and deeper inequality. “The Federal…

Business caught using falsified photos as evidence of energy efficiency upgrades
The Essential Services Commission has placed a six-month restriction on MYOM Australia’s Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) accreditation, alleging it used falsified photo evidence for its energy efficiency projects.

When it comes to repayment,…
