'We shouldn't turn our economy upside down for climate change': Abbott | Sky News Australia

Tony Abbott’s seat of Warringah is under increasing threat from Independent Zali Steggall, who is pushing a climate change agenda. Ms Steggall, a former Olympic athlete, says she doesn’t support Labor leader Bill Shorten’s higher taxing plans, negative gearing changes or retiree tax, but has refused to support a Scott Morrison led Liberal Party because it is not being ‘real’ about climate change.

Sitting member for Warringah Tony Abbott has told Sky News ‘climate change is real, and we should take sensible action to deal with it’ but Australia ‘should not turn our economy upside down in what could turn out to be a futile gesture’. He says Australia could ‘crash the economy’ to achieve greater climate action ‘and the world’s emissions would continue going up and up and up because we are just 1.3 per cent of global emissions’.

TonyAbbottMHR zalisteggall She is pushing GetUps agenda. Zali is just a front for the faceless organisation of overseas and local players and has no views of her own.

TonyAbbottMHR zalisteggall It’s good that she is pushing this issue, but hopefully she has a broader platform beyond climate change, such as a more equitable income policy for low income earners etc.

TonyAbbottMHR zalisteggall Yeh...nah. Time for you to explain how Aust is going to do its fair share of the lifting for Climate Change action. Over the last 6 years with your party bickering on energy policy, Adani, EV, underwriting coal etc has only lead to higher prices. You promise more of the same!
