I think the attention has been on rise of criminal incidents and repeat offenders, so just looking at number of offenders misses some of that?

As a climate reporter in Australia, where 1-in-3 homes have rooftop solar, I can say people here love stories about saving money on solar, electrification, EVs and how it all helps them. Batteries are taking off here now and it’s the same narrative.

I was on a bike behind an electric bus at the lights recently and it was so nice to not cop a lungful of fumes as the bus took off.

No 🙃 Not to mention dealing with the crazy misinfo around EVs in Australia

Super ambitious but Norway went from about 14% in 2014 to 97% today... with incredibly supportive policies and subsidies. They also didn't have the range of EVs compared to the market today. It ~could~ happen if the govt goes all-in on supporting them.

When you take out land use, Australia's climate trajectory looks very different.

For our house, induction is the last step and it's going to be a bit more expensive with new wiring and also much lower rebates, but worth it because now I'm spending less than $3 a month for gas and almost $30 on the connection.

I had the same reaction! Gas hot water switch was $1,200 and made a huge difference to our bills, switched an old gas wall heater and old split with 3 efficient splits and now use half the energy over winter. Rebates galore for each change.

Such a warm autumn. Have noticed in Melbourne that the trees in my neighbourhood are only losing their leaves now.

This piece has some good insights as to why and how the lower preferences work out for them www.tallyroom.com.au/60426

Ooohhhh that explains it, thank you! I was outraged for us

What about Melbourne?!

Hey Peter! Can you follow me so I can message you about this?

Oh gosh, thank you so so much! This honestly has made my day

That's really interesting, thanks for sharing John. Hopefully the awareness spreads... I really think the average person doesn't realise how serious it is
