Wait until climate change really bites - productivity will be much further down!
It will turn the Mallee into a desert.
Your region that would benefit from greater investment in renewables but no, you must support fossil fuel industry profits at all costs.
You have sold out your electorate.

Disgusting

If you think the Australian Government works for you and makes decisions in your best interests, you must be wealthy.

Our democracy is not working.

The fact that it is a bit better than the one in the US is not very reassuring.

If a dog that was initially red-flagged for behaviour by a shelter is involved in a serious/fatal mauling, who will carry the legal responsibility?

Why would you want to do that?
They are turning into a fascist state and are heading towards a civil war.
It's time to break free.

My favourite place to camp. Sunrise and sunset are often spectacular and when the lakes look their best.
A good spot for Pink Cockatoos as well

Make sure you share those 'core values', Cam, otherwise they will try to deport us to who knows where 😆

That must be so lovely for you!
I remember night drives in summer and stopping at each town to clean the windshield.
I remember the walls crawling with Bogong Moths.
Xmas 🪲 & spitfires everywhere!
I remember growing up without air-conditioning.
I remember summers without any smoke.
I remember.

You do know that insurance companies are designed to make a profit don't you?

That isn't a massive figure you are quoting.

If you think everything is fine, good luck to you!

Yes, hailstorms worry me. In the last 5 years the hail has got a lot bigger and is more damaging. In my area this never used to be a problem - hail used to be small.

Cyclones in Brisbane, bushfire season starting in early spring, glaciers vanishing, QFF in southern Vic. That's all new.

IAG delivers airline services. Not sure why their profits are relevant? Were you thinking they are ING?

Yes, I see all sorts of problems with coastal properties. Plenty on the news. Beaches are much smaller than when I was a kid.

Yes, Tuvalu is packing up and moving.

Yep.
I'm paying a lot more for insurance despite no claims - I imagine most people are the same.
Saying that climate change is not real or that it will cost too much to address is just going to shift the cost onto those that can least afford it.
It's already happening.

The Atlas Network influence is I think the most important and slowly 😆

And let's hope it's not a solution that involves pumping out more insecticides.
The observable reduction in insect numbers in my lifetime is terrifying.
IMO the grain-growing areas are the most degraded environments/ecosystems in Australia. This sort of problem/rodent plagues etc are not bad luck.

I think it may be the donations they receive and the promise of a well-paid cushy job after voters kick them out of parliament that is the problem.
We really need to do something about political donations.

I don't even get a reply when I write to most politicians. No money = no say
