The Stop the Bill Shock campaign was started by a collective of climate and economic justice organisations working and campaigning to make sure energy bills are permanently lowered and that everyone benefits and is included in the transition to renewables – not just those that can afford home upgrades.
We have shared experience in our exposure to the worst effects of severe temperatures, which are increasing in their frequency and intensity as climate change accelerates. We know the people and communities affected by heat impacts and disasters are best placed to lead the solutions that are needed to create a climate safe future.
Our shared priority is to ensure every Australian has access to a climate safe home, and to protect people on the lowest incomes from the health impacts of severe temperatures as part of a fast, fair and sustainable transition to clean energy. Our solutions will deliver sustained cost of living relief for people who have been locked out of the benefits of rooftop solar, energy efficiency and electrification programs. We are seeking support for a range of complementary measures to build community resilience and deliver adequate shelter and safety for all.
