Pope Francis just made history. He’s taken the climate debate to a new level -- more than an environmental issue, he’s declared a clear moral imperative to protect our planet, and it’s front page news.

Our Prime Minister has made dozens of excuses not to act on climate change, but a call from the head of his own church could be the tipping point. And it can't come soon enough -- Abbott's deciding Australia’s climate targets right now!

Let’s help our PM 'see the light' on climate. If we flood the PM’s office with calls while the encyclical is in the headlines, we can amplify Pope Francis' message and get Abbott to commit to targets worthy of the Pope’s call.

Phone the PM’s office now:

(02) 6277 7700

Here are some talking points to help with your call. Don't forget to let the PM's office know if you're Catholic!
  1. I read about the Pope’s encyclical on climate change and I think he’s got it right. I hope Mr Abbott will listen to Pope Francis’ call for bold climate action in Australia.
    2. 


  2. I understand that Cabinet is considering Australia's climate targets right now. This is a great place for Mr Abbott to show he's heard the Pope by putting us on track to a pollution free future by 2050.
    3. 

  3. It's not too late for Australia to lead on climate action. Our nation has huge potential to benefit from a clean energy future, and we can play a powerful and constructive role in global negotiations if we commit to doing so.
