"Will climate action undermine Australia’s democracy? This question might not
be as outlandish as it seems.

A recent investigation details a campaign by the car industry to have its (low)
voluntary standards on fuel efficiency legislated into national standards. This
campaign fits into a broader pattern of lobbying by the fossil fuel industry to
hinder effective climate action and highlights the importance of democratic
integrity in addressing the climate crisis as well as the urgent need for
robust regulation of lobbying."
