#FutureFund revealed to be investing $3.4bn in major fossil fuel companies

The publicly owned Future Fund is investing billions into major polluting companies, Senate estimates questioning has revealed.

Answers to questions on notice to the Greens senator Barbara Pocock found the fund is investing a total of $3.4bn into the top 50 fossil fuel emitting companies in the world.

Pocock said there was a deep irony in the government relying on dividends from polluters to pay for infrastructure to deal with the damage the same companies were causing by investing in fossil fuels.

The federal government’s Disaster Ready bill, currently before the Senate, will use proceeds from the Future Fund to pay for infrastructure to mitigate climate damage.

Pocock:

The Future Fund is invested in companies that have absolutely no intention to diversify away from coal and gas, with $549m directly invested in #Woodside, $190m in #Santos and $83m in #Whitehaven.

While Australia is attending Cop27 to mitigate against climate disaster, and is asking the world to let us host a climate summit, our government is sinking money into the world’s biggest polluters.

If the Future Fund is entrusted with paying for the public works needed to keep Australian communities safe from floods, fires, storm surges and cyclones moving south – then it needs to stop profiting from those companies making these natural disasters worse.
