'Our future depends on it': Young Libs unveil climate change action plan | AlexSmithSMH
The NSW Young Liberals are demanding the federal government make sweeping policy changes to tackle the "extraordinary challenges presented by human induced climate change".
"Climate change is a phenomenon that will affect our generation's future. Intergenerational equity requires that governments take the challenge seriously now for the sake of our generation." Key changes they propose include a taxation policy with green asset write-offs, a national household solar panel program and a "market signalling scheme to promote certainty in the energy sector".
