The nation's top business lobbying group is facing pressure to commit to a more progressive climate change stance.

In 2018, the BCA said Labor's plan for a 45 per cent reduction in emissions by 2030 was "economy wrecking", saying instead the government's 26 per cent target was "appropriate and achievable".The chief executive of the BCA, Jennifer Westacott, doubled down on the claimswhere she said there had been "little analysis" of the economic cost of adopting a 45 per cent target, and doing so would be "excessively risky".

Mr Cannon-Brookes said he is "very hopeful" the BCA's stance "changes massively" under new chairman, former MYOB boss Tim Reed.Paul Bassat, a prominent investor, founder of employment website SEEK and board director of the AFL and conglomerate Wesfarmers described the bushfire crisis this week as "our generation's Port Arthur moment", referring to the 1996 massacre which prompted the Howard government to tighten gun laws.

"The government and all Australians must take much more aggressive measures to reduce emissions," Mr Bassat told. "For those that are sceptical, the simple question I ask is: 'What if you are wrong? Are you prepared to gamble the planet on your non-scientific hunch?'"
