  1. Shorelines receding, worsening storms and coastal erosion. Who pays?

    "We've got kilometres and kilometres of coast. So much of our housing [is] built on coastal communities that we are walking into an absolutely existential crisis for some of these regional towns and councils."

    "Someone is going to need to pay for the costs of climate change, and at the moment, it is being picked up by taxpayers and ratepayers while these fossil fuel companies make huge profits."

    "Companies based in Australia have contributed significantly to the climate crisis, and it's only fair for them to have to pay for some of those costs." >>

  2. Climate finance, defence spending and war

    "Pope Leo XIV has said that the world is being “ravaged by a handful of tyrants” who spend billions on war, in comments that will be seen as another sharp escalation in his almost week-long feud with the White House over the US-Israel war on Iran....They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found." >>
