3 years ago, 42% of people polled in Wentworth rated climate as their No1 issue
We haven’t seen any polls that suggest this view has changed

Climate is the No.1 issue in Wentworth, a formerly blue ribbon Liberal seat.
Abandoning climate means abandoning any chance of election. Who does this change serve? What is their plan?

The Coalition’s policy choice to dump net zero makes them unelectable, which nullifies them as an Opposition.
Having an ineffective Opposition is clearly bad for democracy.

The co-owner of Queensland’s biggest coal-fired power station in Gladstone has said it could close the plant in March 2029 – six years earlier than expected.

The problems with the NACC were created when the govt redrafted Helen Haines’ legislation: they introduced a requirement for proceedings to be private unless there were ‘exceptional circumstances’. That was not how it was supposed to work

To be clear, Labor has not endorsed the US bombing Iran (they are fence sitting).
It is Morrison - and now Ley on behalf of the Coalition - who are endorsing it.

So far:
- Marles commented prior to the bombing (Iran is a threat to peace), but nothing since - see below
- Greens say the strike is clearly illegal
- Morrison (interviewed presumably in the absence of finding someone else) says it’s the pathway to peace

So many factory roofs waiting to be covered in solar panels.
It makes sense to build solar (and batteries) close to where energy is needed: it saves on infrastructure & reduces power loss over distance

A periodic reminder that parties are not an essential part of Australia’s democracy & were not even mentioned in the constitution until a minor amendment on Senate vacancies in 1977.

Unlike many other lines, the T4 is running, but with cancellations
