Can you send a message to Premier Peter Malinauskas calling on the South Australian Government to keep the fracking ban in place and protect communities from ramping up fossil fuel expansion?
Every message helps show that people across the country are paying attention and that we wont stay silent whole governments continue to expand fossil fuels while our communities are dealing with the impacts of the climate crisis.
Tips for writing your email
We've created a template message to help you get started, but the most powerful messages are personal. You don't need to be an expert, you just need to speak from the heart. Adding in your own words, experiences or reasons for taking action helps show decision makers just how many people care about protecting our climate and future from dangerous fracking.

AYCC Mount Gambier, in regional South Australia, was started in 2023 after high school students Jazmin and Alicia wanted to take action on climate in their agricultural community. They started just as every new AYCC group does - being supported by AYCC organisers to run weekly meetings in their school and libraries, hosting welcome nights, and being trained to run climate education workshops in their schools to build their group. Mount Gambier leaders were given opportunities, funded through AYCC's regional scholarship fund, to attend Climate Leaders Retreats, Parliament lobbying delegations and South Australian training weekends as long-term investments in these young leaders in regional Australia.
After the South Australian Government reversed a 10-year ban on fracking in the state’s South East in May 2026, AYCC Mount Gambier have been mobilising to fight the ban. This is exactly what years of movement building and learning-by-doing, community conversations skills and education about fracking and fossil fuels prepared them for - to be the young people who are fighting to protect their communities and their futures from dangerous gas fracking.
Through organising community roundtables, attending inquiries by the Government, and gathering through a Country Cabinet at their local Mount Gambier High School (where they've run a bunch of schools workshops at!), they’ve fought and won the bill to ban fracking on the Limestone Coast which has just passed the Upper House. Watch their campaign update here - all they need now is press on the SA Labor Government to support the ban in the Lower House to protect the Limestone Coast for future generations!
Check out the article on the win, featuring AYCC Mount Gambier leader Jazmin Bingham! AYCC couldn’t be more proud of the AYCC Mount Gambier crew - this is testament to what investing in the leadership of young people on climate achieves!
After the South Australian Government reversed a 10-year ban on fracking in the state’s South East in May 2026 opening the door for new gas projects, young people in Mount Gambier have been mobilising to fight the ban. At a time when communities are already feeling the impacts of the climate crisis, governments should be phasing out fossil fuels - not expanding them.
