The prepared email reads -

I Call on the Government to:
- Urgently change Australia’s 2020 emissions reduction target of 5-15% to at least 40–50% by 2020.
- Keep Australia’s 2020 emissions reduction targets out of the CPRS legislation until after the Copenhagen climate deal has been finalised.
- Ensure that individual, community, and all government emissions reduction efforts contribute to additional emissions abatement. Such actions should lower emissions, not lower carbon prices.
- Legislate a ban on all new coal-fired power stations in Australia and a moratorium on all new coal exploration and mining.
- Plan to phase out existing coal-fired power plants over the next ten years. Change the requirements for assistance to coal-fired generators under the CPRS to be conditional upon the 10-year phase-out plan.
- Suspend all subsidies, tax incentives and financial support to the fossil fuel industry, including compensation measures proposed.
- Redirect the $500 million Clean Coal Fund into promoting and advancing renewable energy technology, growth and infrastructure.
- Establish third party rights under the CPRS Act, to ensure that the CPRS remains transparent and accountable.
- Direct all money raised through the CPRS into lower emissions technologies including renewable energy.
