Labor accused of ‘gaslighting’ Australians on climate crisis as fossil fuel projects keep getting approved

The Australian government has approved numerous fossil fuel developments, sparking criticism that leaders are "gaslighting" citizens amid growing climate concerns. Peter Dunn of Emergency Leaders for Climate Action expressed anger over the North West Shelf gas plant extension approval, while bushfire survivors highlight their struggles with climate disasters and lack of action. The government defends fossil fuels as part of a transition strategy, despite facing push from community groups advocating for more ambitious emissions reduction.
