Environment Centre NT
Exposed a 20-year gas cover up
Environment Centre NT
ECNT uncovered explosive FOI documents showing Santos’ Darwin LNG hub has leaked huge amounts of methane since 2006 and that regulators knew and failed to act. The revelations have put regulatory failure in the spotlight and increased pressure on government to fix a major source of methane pollution.
Solar Citizens
Secured a 30% battery rebate
Solar Citizens
After years of advocacy, Solar Citizens helped secure a federal home battery rebate and demand has far exceeded expectations. More than 500,000 batteries have already been installed, prompting the government to expand the program from $2.3 billion to $7.2 billion. It’s a major acceleration of Australia’s shift to cleaner, cheaper household energy.

AAP embedded a dedicated climate correspondent ahead of the 2025 election, producing dozens of stories carried across 80+ publications and more than 300 regional outlets.
