More jobs on a green planet 

Creating a sustainable future equals creating jobs says Greens Senator Christine Milne 

Picture a carbon‐neutral Australia. Picture an Australia where our homes and offices are mini power 

stations – using energy so efficiently that solar panels or small wind turbines on our roofs generate more 

power than we need.  

Picture an Australia where those living on the land receive income from fields of solar collectors and 

wind turbines that, along with geothermal and wave power stations, power our vibrant economy 

cleanly, quietly and cleverly. The collectors provide shade for livestock and the carbon‐rich soils are 

more fertile.  

Picture an Australia where we can all travel to work, school and shops on convenient and efficient public 

transport, ride along safe cycleways or, when we need to, drive clean electric cars powered by those 

vast renewable sources of wind, wave and sun. That is, of course, when we aren’t telecommuting via 

high speed broadband or eating food grown in our own gardens.  

Picture an Australia where our forests are protected for the carbon they store as well as the biodiversity 

they nourish.  

That is the Australia we need to build – and build fast – if we are to play our fair role in preventing 

climate catastrophe. 

I don’t know about you, but when I think of the scale of this transformation, what jumps to mind is that 

it’s a huge job. 

In fact, perhaps a million jobs or more! We will need every one who can to get involved in making this 

vision a reality.  

When you grapple with this challenge, it becomes clear that the myth of climate change action costing 

jobs is either a deliberate fabrication1 by those who don’t want to change or a demonstration of 

complete lack of imagination. Quite the reverse is true. Right now, in fact, there is a strong push around 

the world for a ‘green recovery plan’, driven by grassroots organisations such as Green For All and 

Greens Parties, as well as from the very top – US President Obama and UN head Ban Ki‐moon both 

promoting a global Green New Deal.

In the coming months, we will see hundreds of thousands of Australians and millions around the world – 

losing their jobs at a time when we need to put millions to work rebuilding for the carbon neutral 

economy.  

We will need manufacturing workers to build wind turbines, solar collectors, buses and trains. We will 

need electricians, plumbers and builders. We will need natural resource managers and primary health 

carers. We will need town planners, architects, traders and lawyers. There are green jobs in every walk 

of life.  

1 fabrication:   falsehood or a lie 

 Respond concisely, in short answer format of approximately 200–300 words for each question, on 

the answer sheets provided in this booklet. 

1. Explain Senator Christine Milne’s perspective presented in her vision for a future Australia.
