Both major parties have voted against a duty of care for future generations included in climate legislation, as well as having fought against it in court. Children are to inherit our consequences, but have no say in the decision-making.

No saving the Coalition – and that should be a warning to Labor
Labor is trying to present itself as the adult in the room, by pointing to the opposition's tantrums. That’s not governing, it’s babysitting.

What passes for "analysis" of climate policy by today's ABC:
- all politics, little policy
- an alleged expose of the "conundrum" in Liberals' position, when NONE of it makes any sense
- no mention of the role of powerful vested interests like the fossil fuel lobby, Gina Rinehart, Advance... #auspol

“Opposition leader Brad Battin previously opposed VAD, but changed his mind to vote for the reforms after personal experiences with a friend.”

I’m a bit weary of Tories who can only empathise when the thing happens to them. It’s not how government, or humans, are supposed to work.

If the Coalition really was serious about addressing high energy prices they would have stepped out of today’s joint discussion to announce a retrospective gas reservation scheme to end local price gouging by the gas cartel. All talk, no walk. #auspol

Under Labor’s environmental reforms, project proponents don’t have to disclose scope 3 emissions, only scope 1 and 2 (see post 2/2 for definition). Why? Official’s avoided answering Senator David Pocock’s question on that🤷‍♂️. Looks like a job for #FOI. 1/2 #climate #auspol

The Albanese govt's failure to overturn the Morrison government's $50,000 arts degrees can only mean one of two things:

- they're happy with LNP higher ed policy, or
