The Greens used our power in Parliament to strengthen climate policy! A Bill putting the State Electricity Commission (SEC) into our constitution passed this week with Greens amendments that ensure it will only be used to drive investment in renewables or lower power prices.

A tile with decorative images of wind turbines and solar panels, with text reading "Greens Future Proofing Climate Policy in Victoria"
Tile reading "The State Electricity Commission was Victoria's publicly owned energy provider until it was privatised in the 1990s. (Yes, energy used to be publicly owned!) The Government decided to bring it back, but their new SEC was mostly spin & photo ops. So we got to work." In addition to the mostly-obscured background from the previous tile, there is an image of Premier Jacinta Allan in a hard-hat and high-vis turning a sod with a shovel.
Tile reading "The Greens secured significant reforms to: 
 - stop future Governments raiding the SEC for cash
& 
 - ensure funds from the SEC's public ownership go towards renewable energy & lowering energy bills.
But..."
Tile reading "The SEC is still not properly funded. Our next challenge is getting the Government to invest more in renewable energy. So that we can all enjoy cheap energy and a healthy climate."
