This is how you fix Australian Politics

One Nation is on the rise.

Support for the major parties is collapsing and polling shows Pauline Hanson could become Prime Minister in 2028.

But communities are stronger.

The problem we face

One Nation’s Trump-style divisive politics are a danger to our democracy, women's rights and climate action.

But around Australia communities are finding a better way.

They're backing their own independent leaders — people who represent you, not party bosses and vested interests. They need your support today.

What's at stake?

Pauline Hanson is now a possible future Prime Minister.

Polling puts her party ahead for the first time ever. In just one year, this is the new reality — this didn't happen by accident.

The surge in support for One Nation is part of a coordinated, well-funded global push — the same forces that delivered Trump in America and Reform in the UK.

Understanding this matters: cost of living is punishing, housing is out of reach, and trust in politics is low. These frustrations are legitimate, but One Nation doesn't want to fix these problems, it wants to weaponise them.

If One Nation forms government

It would be the worst thing to happen to Australia in a generation.

A One Nation government wouldn't just set Australia back on climate. It would pull at the very fabric of everything that makes this country what it is.

Absolute climate chaos

Straight from Trump's playbook — One Nation would pull Australia out of Paris, scrap climate targets, eliminate the Department of Climate Change and accelerate fossil fuel development.

Erosion of trust & democracy

Thirty years of divisive rhetoric against Indigenous Australians and migrants. Promises to repeal gun restrictions. Deliberate cultivation of distrust in science, media and public institutions.

Attacking women's rights

One Nation is a pro-life party. They are already running campaigns to restrict women's access to reproductive healthcare — another tactic imported directly from MAGA America.

Expected pay day for One Nation

$219,000,000

If One Nation puts up candidates in every seat, between now and 2031, they'll receive over $219 million in taxpayer funding.

The party has spent 30 years cultivating ‘Aussie battler’ status while being part of the political establishment and living off public money.

What's the answer to all this division and despair?

Stronger communities

The politics of fear works best when people feel isolated and powerless. Communities that get organised, talk to each other and take action together are the most powerful counterforce there is.

Better representation

Australians don't need another politician who toes a party line. They need someone from their own community — who knows their street, shares their concerns and answers to them, not to a party boss or corporate sponsors.

Fairer democracy

A parliament with more independent voices is harder to game, harder to poison, and harder for any single party or movement to dominate. That's not just better for climate and integrity — it's better for everyone.

Ok, so here's the plan: join our Community Accelerator Fund.

All over Australia, community groups are coming together in local libraries and around kitchen tables.

They're talking about the issues that matter to them and looking for the right candidate to put forward. But without the backing of major party funding and organising, these groups need help.

That’s why the Community Accelerator Fund exists.

It provides early-stage support to give community campaigns the best possible chance to succeed.

The campaigns that will win in 2028 are the ones starting now.

That’s where you come in.

Why now matters:

The community campaigns that can win in 2028 are starting right now.

That sounds like a long time, but in campaign terms, it isn't.

Successful community campaigns take years to build — the organising, volunteer recruitment, candidate selection, community conversations.

Every month we delay is a month the far right uses to bank uncapped donations, flood our screens with disinformation, and move ‘what’s normal’ further right.

One Nation will run candidates in every seat.

They're already raising millions. They're not waiting. Neither can we.
Here's where your money goes

Every dollar you give makes a huge impact, each step of the way.

Your donation gives local groups the edge over billionaire-backed parties. You have the power to give communities a pathway to win.

Jess & Mia's testimonial on their reason for fundraising and donating to Climate 200

Stage 1: The spark

Community conversations begin

A group of locals decides enough is enough. They start meeting — in someone's lounge room, a community hall, a local café. They're not a campaign yet. They're a conversation. Climate 200 helps these groups get organised: facilitation support, tools to grow their membership, and the resources to keep the momentum going when the initial energy starts to fade.

Your impact: At this stage, your donation is giving fledgling community groups the tools and support to find their feet — turning a handful of concerned locals into an organised movement with the capacity to grow.

Stage 2: Growing the movement

The group expands its efforts

The group starts expanding beyond the founding circle. Door knocks, community forums, local events. They're identifying what their community actually cares about and building a base of volunteers and supporters who share that vision. Your donation helps fund this organising work — the unglamorous, essential groundwork that grows roots.

Your impact: At this stage, your donation is funding the unglamorous but critical essentials — the community forums, the volunteer coordination, the door knocks — all the things that build the kind of genuine local support no party machine can manufacture.

Stage 3: Finding their candidate

The search begins...

The community starts asking: who among us should represent us? They run a deliberate process to identify and recruit the right person — not a career politician, but someone with genuine standing and respect in their community. Climate 200 supports the group through this process. Once someone steps forward, everything changes.

Your impact: At this stage, your donation is helping communities run a rigorous, community-led search for the right person — so that when the right person steps forward, the community is already behind them.

Stage 4: Ready to launch

A local leader steps forward

Before a candidate officially announces, there's a critical window. The group needs to be strong enough to carry a real campaign. Volunteer networks built. Community support mapped. Strategy set. This is the last stage the Community Accelerator Fund supports — and the most important. Because once the candidate declares, different rules apply and the community has to be ready to back them all the way to the finish line.

Your impact: At this final stage, your donation is helping close the window before everything changes. Once a candidate officially announces, different funding rules apply. Your support until now has ensured the community is strong enough to carry a real campaign and win!

Ready to join us? You'll be in very good company.
