# New poll finds overwhelming support from Australians for more climate action
Monday, 30 August 2021
Australia’s biggest ever polling on attitudes to climate change, carried out by the Australian Conservation Foundation, has dropped today, finding support for stronger climate action across the board, with 59 per cent of Coalition voters saying they would reconsider their vote at the next election due to climate change.
Rugby legend David Pocock has gathered a team of elite sportspeople to tackle climate change, and the tenacious farmers of the Liverpool Plains continue their battle to protect their patch against gas and coal developments, with an appeal launched against the Narrabri Gas Project.
Santos, the Narrabri Gas Project developer, faces legal heat elsewhere, with a Federal Court challenge to its claims of a ‘net zero’ emissions target - with no plan to stop producing climate-wrecking gas.
