To get to the prize round, contestants had to guess the value of a household item.
Most voters want action on climate change but recent elections suggests there is a limit to how much they are willing to pay. Last election they had Labor’s 45 per cent by 2030, versus the Coalition’s 28 per cent. Labor had bragging rights on taking action, but only the Coalition could run a campaign querying cost. Labor now thinks it can’t be that ambitious.
But after years of calling the government’s target inadequate, it would be a huge backdown for Labor. There would be an almighty battle within the caucus to get support, which would most likely fail. Labor’s internal division on climate would be there to see, as a squabble erupts over what the magic number is.
From there it’s a case of adding new policies that increase the target organically – each step bringing its own reduction percentage.A properly fleshed out electric car policy with a renewable energy target factored in. Vehicle emissions standards for petrol cars, again with more detail than the ALP previously outlined. Perhaps a fund for the meat industry to reduce emissions without increasing costs. More energy efficiency measures for homes and businesses.
tomwconnell Not quite. Most voters prefer politicians intelligent enough to know the difference between natural evolutionary & anthropological climate change, & honest enough to admit Co2 is essential for all life. They would also like someone with practical ideas of how to live with change
tomwconnell 'Most voters want action on climate change'... that is not what the last election says, no matter how you want to spin it.
tomwconnell IT WILL NOT COST US A PENNY All we have to do is STOP SUBSIDISING FOSSIL FUELS and move a small part of that money upgrading our grid Auspol
tomwconnell Because doing nothing is so much cheaper than doing something
tomwconnell Australian Paris agreement, All this pain & Cost on our power bills to cut Australia's CO2 output & for what? There Is No Climate Emergency Scientists say
tomwconnell Bullshit . The majority think it’s a fraud . The last election was “ a climate election “ we were told . The socialist climate zealots lost yet the lefty media try & spin it as usual.
tomwconnell Most voters have no idea about the Global Warming Scam
tomwconnell No, they do not as 95% do not understand the facts. PS Here is a TIP, the climate always changes.
