Former prime minister Julia Gillard doesn't want climate policy put in the too-hard basket and says history shows it's possible for Australia to have a scheme that reduces emissions.

Former prime minister Julia Gillard doesn't want climate policy put in the too-hard basket, saying Australia can have a scheme that reduces emissions.

"One of the frustrations of sliding door moments is, other than in the famous movie, you don't actually get to go back in time and run the parallel universe," she told a webinar hosted by the Australia Institute think-tank on Wednesday.Australia is one of the last developed countries actively considering new coal-fired power stations

“The perceived history is ‘oh we’ve been fighting forever, nothing gets done, it’s all too hard’. I would like us to unpack to the next level: it can get done, it was done.

Go away you had your chance even going through 3 turn coat spills spending millions dollars in doing so

First you have to crawl out of that basket first Julia, how's that union sinking fund going?

Wow.

Rubbish. We don’t need to be taxed, to fix what previous governments created. We only consume what the government permits. They created it, THEY can fix it with the taxes we already pay!

Worst PM ever, never been elected, still on the big bucks, AlanJones

I thought she was sent back to where she came from

Gillard is clueless and never paid the price for her corrupt deeds.

Beautiful and intelligent. A double threat.

FatherBob Stop with the Labor news. Tell us what the LNP are up to?

Simon says, 'all these things are simple', for a Saint : black and white?

Climate change doesn't go away just because of a pandemic. And she's right. So much to work on, so little time. Let's make sure we don't have covid-depleted staff with poor knowledge of safety managing large, city-based fertiliser stores, eh?

Really, in the current environment with lock downs, job loses and people dieing, she wants to remind us about client change!! just go away.

Fact: nobody cares about the leftist religion of climatology at the moment.

Praise ClimateJesus. Hallelujah. EnviroGod will save us.

Julia who has a cushy job at the Clinton foundation after donating multi millions of our tax dollars should worry about her employers pedo accusations with Epstein island and their pizza favourites. It’s bad shit.

Investigate JG’s relationship to Clinton foundation and the Australian taxpayers money illegally given to it by her.

Elites tell us we’re heating the world and raising ocean levels, while buying beach front properties. I smell a rat here

We need to reduce and eliminate the Wuhan Virus COVID_Australia before we think about climate change JuliaGillard ClimateCrisis COVID19au auspol Australia

Didn't Julia say like a week ago that ex ministers should stay out of politics?

Someone remind me what JG did again?

Is Julia still working for the Clinton foundation that she tipped millions of $ into?

Tell the unelected by the people Ex PM to just shut up.

Labor formula to 'throw money at problems' behind push to expand Vic lockdown welfare | Sky News AustraliaNSW One Nation leader Mark Latham says the Labor formula 'if you see a problem, throw money at it' doesn’t stack up in the context of a current push to nationalise $1500 relief payments currently offered to eligible Melbourne residents.\n\nPrime Minister Scott Morrison unveiled a $1500 disaster payment for Victorian workers forced to self-isolate who did not have enough sick leave left or didn't qualify for other government subsidies, ensuring they had no financial incentive to break isolation. \n\nThe Prime Minister acknowledged the new lockdown measures would take a heavy toll on Victorian workers, business owners, and families.\n\nWhile media organisations have painted the welfare spending as “desperately unfair” due to its limited application to Melbourne suburbs, Mr Murray said there was no good reason to extend the policy into areas not under stage four lockdown restrictions. \n\n“You have to have mutual obligation for the dole when there is the opportunity to go and get employment”. \n\n“You can’t get that at the moment in Victoria, you can get it right now in WA”. \n\n\n\n Time for the rest of Australia to be heavily taxed to support us Victorians. It's the cobba's code! Ok so keep paying your frontline workers less than the minimum wage and employing them as casuals and see how hard it is to keep the COVID genie in the bottle
