Independent MP Zali Steggall said the bushfire crisis is an opportunity to shift the debate over climate change to set goals for action across the nation before threats become overwhelming

.

Independent federal MP Zali Steggall says the"dysfunction" within the federal Coalition over climate change means"we're not preparing for that problem"."What we're hearing from the community is a high level of anxiety" over the bushfires scorching much of Australia, she told theon Wednesday.

The climate bill would force the government to assess risks across the economy, such as health and agriculture. "Perhaps when they realise what the bill of adaptation [to climate change] is, they won't think mitigation is too expensive," she said.

Why did fires occur in South Australia when all they have is renewable energy. How can that be

zalisteggall What a grub doing nothing for my area or for these fires

Irrelevancy thy name is Steggle ! About as useless as an ash tray on a motorbike ! 2.5 years to go Dear ! Then you are gone !

Is that her version of a Burka !

margokingston1 Before? Too affluent your politicians they don't understand impoverished ppl.

She ‘hopes’ that or will bloody well do something about it ?

If scientists are divided on the issue of climate change , then how does the lay person have the solution? Dinosaurs were not responsible for climate change , or the Ice Age which wiped them out....

Oh she's a liberal agreeing to support this government that only represent the selfish greedy

Let's see you use your great diplomatic skills ,zali ,by getting China and India to cut theirs first ,after all ,they emit 35 % and we emit 1 %.

Dont report this b***s**t..

zalisteggall You’re a charlatan.

still cant afford that electric car?

HazRobert Pretty meaningless legislation as proposed by Stegall. I suspect neither she nor her proposed legislation have much substance. A bit sad. A real independent prepared to vote against Morrison Govt on all important matters could be very useful.

zalisteggall You’re a one term flash in the pan. Two more years until you flash off.

Ms Zagali should go and preach her thinking about climate change to China and America, who are not taking any action. Australia is doing the fair share of global problem.

zalisteggall

Warringah voted T Abbott out for this she is a one term wonder

Marcus25046886 Did she drive her SUV to this photo shoot?

zalisteggall My God Warringah what were you thinking

First thing she should do is insist windmills are installed on Balgowlah Golf Course, it’s getting shut down anyway and helps add to renewable sources...oh wait she doesn’t insist for these to be in her backyard, lefties only insist others make sacrifices

The only action the LNPClimateCriminals have made with regards to ClimateChange is a change of leadership anytime a proposal is made. If you want real action, zalisteggall will have to work with Labor, the Greens and open minded independents.

At the enquiry just for 1 document the Risk Assessment

zalisteggall It makes sense she’s in Balmain

Stop wearing that stupid mask so everyone can feel sorry for you! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CLIMATE CHANGE! You get that?

Until all these Climatology Deciples give up their cars and electricity and show that they are not Hypocrites we are not interested.

JaneCaro

How I would like to know who is bank rolling this

Things Australia can do: 1. At negotiations like the recent Madrid ones, aim for higher reductions in CO2 emissions rather than help instigate a race to the bottom. 2. Enact policies which capture the full cost of polluting industries.

As she dons a cheap ‘dust’ mask from bunnings to shield her from the smoke fumes. auspol

ArsonEmergency

The irrelevance pops up and says the same thing as always - like a bird who can only make the one noise.

Please, dont hear from her for months then all of a sudden she needs to pipe up because:

Certainly improves her appearance. Can't do much about her intellect however. Buyer's remorse yet, Warringah?

JaneCaro The bushfire crisis is an opportunity for this shitheal to try and stay relevant

zalisteggall Ffs, Im embarrassed by my member for Warringah. GetUp is failing the persuasion game with this comedy.

zalisteggall Nope, zero emissions from Australia mean nothing. If we had of magically reduced our emissions to zero 10 years ago we would still have fires and drought..... but useful idiots like Zeggal think we can change the weather.

So she stands around posing for photos hoping whilst Abbott has been out there helping. Good choice warringah

JaneCaro Please. We need strong immediate and clear action against climate change. Everyday ScottMorrisonMP just rolls on. When are we going to get a policy, action and leadership? When?!

It would be good if she was in the Warringah Electorate, she is photographed in the City. As one of only two true Independent Councillors on the local Council i confirm she is invisible and sends her staff to most local events! HonTonyAbbott supported our local community events!

zalisteggall S

She doesn't even know how to properly wear a basic mask 😂

Hypocrisy from steggall.

Do your best Zali....it shouldn’t be this HARD!

Where is steggalls wind power turbine and electric vehicle she has been talking about since she became a politician?

The climate change hysteria won’t stop fires

She is one of the most useless politician ever

The threats have overwhelmed us.

The liberals allowed the right wingers to take over their party since 1996 election under Howard, he has destroyed the menzies Liberal party, will take decades to roll that back.

Australia alone cannot change the climate, unless you can persuade the big emission countries to stop. The only way to stop the bush fire is to chop and burn the forest into small pieces.

Zali wont do good bjs with that mask on!!!

I wonder what an overwhelming threat looks like?!

Need a change of government first

zalisteggall is not able to immediate change whilst she is saddled up with the government.

Cutting 33% of our total Co2 (electricity generation) is going to change the world?

Love all the Chicken Little “the sky is falling” hysterical types on here. Look take ur meds, go have a lie down,everything is going to be okay.

We are counting on you good Zali zalisteggall auspol2020

I hope so too Zali. My advice to Australia is to have nothing at all to do with coal by 2050 and concentrate now on wind and solar energy.

She’s beefed up a bit.

So was ClimateChangeIsReal to blame for the 800,000 km2 that burned Australia in 2001, or the 480,000 km2 in 1997, or the 600,000 km2 in 1999 or the 630,000 km2 in 2002 or the massive fires in 1939. Tony__Heller ClimateChange ClimateCrisis

I hope that mask stops her talking. She's vacuous and a waste of time

Hang on, 'Before' the threat gets overwhelming! Aus will likely double its emissions due to the fires... that can't be offset

peasley_mark already overwhelming already, sad to say! Globally we are seeing extreme weather events, worse than what is considered to be cyclic or usual. we have come to game-changer phase now, whether we like it or not.

MichelleBxtr Have a good look at this Australia. Then you might massively support Zali Steggall and dump any coal activities, et c. AustralianWildFires AustralianFires AustralianBushfiresDisaster AustraliaFires AustraliaisBurning Australiabushfire australiafire

Pity you wasnt wearing that mask when you voted with the Liberals last HOR sittings

I'm not sure a dust mask like that one will get the finer airborne particles. She needs to check with the supplier if that's the correct PPE.

marcialangton zalisteggall please learn to wear a P2 mask. The air has to filter through the mask, not around the sides. Awesome work on getting a climate bill up. Can you also put up the Australian GreenNewDeal

She is a myth.

Poor Zali. Having to put up with smoke haze at her local cafe. While Tony actually out there fighting the fires. Great choice.

Are there enough sensible moderate Libs to help pass such legislation?

Grab a hose like Tony princess!

Political grandstanding at its best, what a truly awful choreographed photo opp

The smartest thing she’s said yet

Then Ms Steggall has some serious thinking to do if as she claims she wanted better climate policy she cannot in good conscience continue to support the Coalition govt by discontinuing her habit of either abstaining or voting with the Coalition. TimeToGetSerious auspol

How are those solar panels have you installed them yet?

What a pathetic picture.

No more setting goals B.S. Actually do something now. Future targets do not work they are purely targets not actual action.

If only. $10 says it’ll rain next week and people will go back to worrying about their franking credits.

I think she can begin by calling to adjust the current 10:50 rule for hazard reduction to a 50:100 rule to allow home owners in bushfire prone lane the ability to create greater asset protection zones around their homes without having to battle with ideology driven bureaucrats

Are you still planning to support all government bills, as you normally do? You were supposed to be independent ....

Please vote against the LNP!

Zali back to the slopes please

Yes because fires never existed until lately.

130,000 chickens a day get slaughtered by your family business

They are overwhelming long has the drought been on.Ministers on Holiday should resign.Deriliction of Duty

Comrade Zali She is a political cancer injected into our system with the financial funding of George Soros backed ‘get up’ Warringah, wake the fire truck up!

Still waiting for you but the EV you said you were going to purchase.

Before threats become overwhelming? What are they now?

Steggall , is another LIAR who hasn’t got a clue what she’s talking about ! .

Onya Zali Maybe YOu will comment No bugger with any authority will 🤗True or false No water no evaporation no what,goes,up must,come,down ?

Hah bah ha

So the government can change the whether and arsonists? OK
