Don’t let the fossil fuel companies pull the strings in Australia’s policy making
 Who’s pulling the strings during coronavirus? Don’t let the fossil fuel companies pull the strings https://www.getup.org.au/campaigns/covid-recovery/nccc-transparency/who-s-pulling-the-strings-during-coronavirus?t=KOWp58iMP2 Morrison is letting a group of unelected corporate fatcats set the agenda during coronavirus.
The unelected National COVID-19 Coordination Commission has taken the front seat in policy making. They operate in complete secret – with no oversight, no obligation to disclose who they’re meeting with and no transparency over the decisions they advise on.
Led by a former mining CEO and riddled with fossil fuel lobbyist, they’re doing more to protect fossil fuels than people.1
Judges, rights groups and independent politician Zali Steggal have all called for the group to operate with more transparency. It’s time we back them in with a massive call for more accountability.2 Sign the petition demanding transparency around policy making during coronavirus.
