The Greens are calling for the Australia Federal Government to act on the Nation’s housing crisis, with the results of their Senate inquiry into intergenerational housing finding that for the first time in history the wealth gap between generations is widening.

The New South Wales government is on the spotlight for not taking climate action seriously, but the community is pushing harder to be heard.

The NSW Blue Mountains City Council has unanimously passed a motion urging the federal government to introduce a levy on fossil fuel companies to make them pay for climate-related disasters. 
 
The motion comes as a local community campaign demonstrates how coal and gas corporations are making billions of communities bear the brunt of climate reality. 
 
Organiser for the Blue Mountains Climate Compensation Group Anne Welch, says the levy is desperately needed, so communities traumatised by bush fires like Black Summer don’t have to continue paying the price.
