The landmark Green Economy Agreement (GEA) between Australia and Singapore may be the beginnings of an earnest move towards decarbonising the country.
Lines attributable to Greens spokesperson for trade, Yamatji-Noongar Woman Senator Dorinda Cox:
“I welcome Australia’s new trade agreement with Singapore and look forward to the opportunity of strengthening Indigenous diplomacy between our two countries.
"In August, I was pleased to meet with High Commissioner to Singapore, Will Hodgman, and heard from him Singapore’s priorities for food and energy security. Australia is uniquely placed to be a renewables superpower, powering the world through locally produced green energy.
“Given the proximity of Darwin to Singapore, this is a fantastic opportunity to transform the Middle Arm precinct into a globally competitive, sustainable export hub.”
