Senator Larissa Waters – Removing the fossil fuel industry’s influence on politics and parliament
It’s time to restore trust and integrity in our politics. We can do this with political financing reforms that remove the fossil fuel industry’s corrosive influence on our democracy. We can do this by levelling the access to politicians and by embedding more transparency and accountability in political processes.
More and more Australians and our Pacific neighbours are calling for an end to government decisions that fast track coal and gas industry profits at the expense of our climate, environment and our democracy.
Removing the fossil fuel industry’s influence on politics and parliament is how we change the story and restore trust in government decisions.
