The last serious debate in the Australian Parliament about some aspects of climate change was more than 10 years ago, when in 2009 the original Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme was defeated in the Senate. Even so, the primary emphasis then was not on the science but on the economics, politics and personalities.
Why is Australia No. 1 in the world for per capita CO2 emissions , even ahead of the United States, and more than double the European Union average? Has the Australian government given any consideration to energy efficiency measures so citizens can retain their quality of life with less waste? Were recent changes weakening the public service's role in providing independent advice to government driven by the climate change controversy within the aptly named Coalition?

USA withdraw from Paris agreement?
Climate change is a theory not unlike all religions in the world........with the introduction of up to the minute Social media it has taken off. People want real proof not gay green political nutters protesting with rings through there noses lips and private parts.
Everybody printing it and ask their MP these questions. Even people in doubt of the climate discussion should do this. When an MP is not able to give answers to these questions, they are either lying or incompetent. Should then be voted out at next election.
Great to see an outcome from my political donations ...

The only consolation is that their families will suffer as climate change worsens and will take the blame from those of us who know better than to persist with fossil fuels. rharris334 Albo is in trouble. Coal is his enemy not his friend.

'Risky', 'unrealistic': MPs hit back at call to ditch religious discrimination billCoalition MPs and church leaders want to persist with the controversial religious discrimination bill, warning 'we should not let perfect be the enemy of the good'. CanberraCamper What...ditch the LNPs crowning glory of irrelevancy? CanberraCamper How about we focus on a declaration of humane values in the constitution. This then provides a foundation for future amendments and interpretations. Things like anti discrimination and freedom of worship can then be assembled under that. CanberraCamper If it wasn't such a serious threat to human rights, I could enjoy watching the proponents tear each other apart over the consequences

Who cares about him StuntMo 🤦🏻♂️ No they are not! He should be taken out and shot at dawn. He is a traitor.

Labor MPs meeting in secret at Canberra restaurant is a 'healthy thing': Conroy | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Cory Bernardi says when someone of the influence and authority like Labor Senator Don Farrell claims to TV cameras that Labor MPs in favour of coal are meeting without informing the leader then “trouble is afoot”.\n\nA group of Labor MPs including nine front benchers who call themselves the ‘Otis group’ after the fine dining restaurant in Canberra were confronted by TV crews questioning their intentions.\n\nFellow panelist and former Labor minister Stephen Conroy told Sky News host Paul Murray the meeting was a “healthy thing” and the channel 10 crews were “attempting to create a story that does not exist”.\n\n“Being ambushed outside a restaurant with loaded questions, is low rent behavior,” he said.\n\nImage: Getty Has Been said what now? Cori Bernardi lol.... Where does Sky get these RW nutters from. They complain about bias on the AWARD WINNING ABC and wonder why SKY News didn't get a Walkley last year lol, Sky is a joke. But...but Labor 😰 Coalition in a mess... look over there at Labor. Dead cat story. Nothing positive to report about the Coalition obviously.

Former Liberal boss says rebel 'Otis' group might be 'politically advantageous' for Labor | Sky News AustraliaNews that right-wing Labor MPs are discussing changing their party's policies on climate change 'might be a good thing politically' for the opposition, according to Sky News contributor Michael Kroger.\n\nChannel Ten reprorted on Wednesday a group of MPs- – nicknamed the Otis group after a Canberra restaurant they dined together at - reportedly wanted the party to take a softer stance on coal. \n\nShadow Resources Minister Joel Fitzgibbon and senior Labor Senator Don Farrell are reportedly members of the group. \n\nMr Kroger, who was formally Victorian Liberal party president, said if Labor Leader Anthony Albanese does not change his party's emission reduction target, the party will fail to win back blue-collar support.\n\n'The meeting says to the voting public, Albanese might be hard left, but we have a very large block of people in our ranks...who are going to stand up for traditional Australian communities'.\n\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n\n Jesus I hope so. Labor should be faced with a choice: lose the right wing dumbarses like fitzhunter, or lose the entire progressive vote. These two things are incompatible and it’s about time Labor made a decision. Good move Climate Reality is an equalizer. Apparently they’re calling Albo “Milo” now! .... because he definitely has nothing to do with OTIS 👍
