We keep getting hammered by storm events. The constant battering down the hatches and cost of local clean ups is what has motivated Tweed Shire Council mayor Chris Cherry to join 17 mayors across Queensland and New South Wales to call upon the Federal Government to urgently take action on climate change. The statement asks the Federal Government to provide support by further reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, and investing in clean industries that create regional jobs, unlocking business investment and spurring technological innovation. Cr Cherry said local councils have been the ones to bear the cost each time there is a serious weather event.
Ratepayers will bear the cost of climate inaction: Mayor
