The bitter-sweet feelings of climate action campaigners are well captured by the headline of Alan Finkel’s article . With the election of a government committed to a more ambitious carbon reduction target, and with a new spirit of co-operation between federal and state ministers, hope has been rekindled in our hearts. But the scale of the challenges facing policy makers, the energy industry and taxpayers is daunting.
The government must retain control of the development of renewable energy resources to ensure that essential energy is guaranteed for households to survive. It must crack down on the rampant profiteering which is putting households under enormous strain due to hiking energy costs. And consumers must critically evaluate where they can reduce energy costs by cutting out reliance on unnecessary appliances, devices and gadgets, and keep it simple.
Why is it so unpalatable for government to maintain control of essential services, , using funds from taxes or bonds to produce energy as efficiently as possible at a fair price to consumers, minus parasitic intermediary, and retaining any profits to benefit all Australian citizens instead of only private shareholders?
These attacks generally occur due to a lack of knowledge of Islam and the negative perception given in the media. The Ahmadiyya Muslim community organises various events and helps the community to promote peace in society by taking part in Clean Up Australia Day, raising money for various charity organisations such as the Red Cross and multiple other events.
