Comment: Waleed Aly asks: 'What happened to the climate change election?'

Elsewhere, it is hard to see what else could have inspired these swings, given Labor’s platform was specifically designed to attack the economic interests of wealthy voters.

Perhaps the most pronounced example of this was in the NSW coal mining seat of Hunter, where Labor lost over 14 per cent of its primary vote. The Nationals lost 2.5 per cent of theirs. One Nation, meanwhile, clocked up its highest vote in the whole country: nearly 22 per cent. It’s not far off winning the seat.

What this patchwork of climate votes reveals is just how deeply, primarily economic this issue has become. The greatest predictor of your attitude to climate action is your economic exposure to it. Voting for climate change policies is now a luxury item.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.
Please try again later.

It was the climate change election for the affluent and the fear of economic doom for the aspirationals. Fear overcame hope.....just.

Hijacked by the scare campaign.

The ‘it’s all about me’ idiots came out and voted in droves.

Stop population growth the climate will be fixed

You left wing loonies overestimated it’s importance to every day Australians

MSMWatchdog2013 yes I spoke to many and they do not believe in climate change , very sad the think it is too expensive

Tell him to stick his head in a bucket of water Ha ha We will get our review on Monday mornings 😘😘😘

When Aussies have to choose between paying bills, giving their family a good life & not losing the roof over their heads OR disabling our economy & having mass unemployment by hitting targets that will have NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER on global CC, they pick the former. Crazy people.🤣

We had it. Common sense won.

Australians do t believe that bullshit and Labour lost. Simple really. There loss was a repudiation of the climate fraud promoted by Labour.

Climate is changing but the government isn’t. the elections are primarily about the economy and if that is stable we can Consider various options for alt sources of energy, new industries, etc. that’s the sensible way.

We had it. The side you backed lost. Get over it.

The fact the Greens gained an upswing of around 2.6% goes to show there are many who have become brainwashed with the false information being put forward by those with a vested interest people believing in the climate change narrative

You mean wealth redistribution, right Waleed?

stop lying about CO2 and it’s impact on the climate.

You lost, we won. That’s what happened.

MSMWatchdog2013 Scomo drowned it out.

We have all be swindled!!

Y2K anyone ?

It lost!

MSMWatchdog2013 Wasn't important enough after all.

MSMWatchdog2013 Who cares

Scientists are just as susceptible to groupthink as media personalities are. I’ve stopped believing the hysteria. Humanity’s future is in space anyway. You can program the climate of an O’Neill cylinder to be whatever you’d like it to be.

Like anyone cares what that grub Waleed has to say

Try asking the hundreds of thousands of Australians who would have been directly affected by Shortens taxes

The Wally who predicted a massive swing to the ALP now says ALP polices really WERE what voteres wanted & should be implemented anyway. Right.

This article is nonsense, full stop . Channel10AU has Waleed, Pirate Wife, Joe Hilderbrand and Peter Van Onselen... all ideological leftist twerps who told us until they were black & blue we were stupid and that labor would destroy the coalition.... don’t give him airtime 🚮

Climate change hoax Mr 81

Who caused climate change when the Ice Age ended? Who caused all those ice caps to melt? The Earth has experienced a pattern of a cold ice age and then a warm interglacial period and then another cold ice age. Repeated over and over. The climate constantly changes naturally.

More than 50% of voters believe the 31,000 science experts who have confirmed climate change is cyclic and a natural phenomenon

We have moved on and voted for the real things that matter. Climate change is a hoax that the left have been sucked into.

I see some responses here and I’m tired of ALP supporters applying the terms ‘greedy’ and ‘selfish’ to anyone who wants to retain as much of their hard earned money as possible now and into retirement. Advocate as much as you want for a socialist nation but Australia has spoken!!

What happened to talking about real global threats. ..like islamic terrorism?

Ppl saw thru it.

Hey Waleed, the real question is what happened to the 81 seat victory you projected for labor? I would think it's pretty safe to say you know as much about climate change as you do politics... theprojecttv auspol

Look at Victoria’s budget, now imagine if Shorten won!

Same thing that happened to his election prediction I'm guessing

Waleed who

Waleed Aly 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Please can we not become like the USA or UK in the way that no one believes or fulfils election results...

We started to wake up?

simple the political climate changed …..

We had it The climate scam was voted out

Whenever 'Waleed asks', sensible people turn their backs...

We just had it...

What climate change It’s hog wash

It was fake news from Labor and Greens. The climate change election was like a clear odourless gas that hurts no one.

He should fade away asap. Lightweight.

Science doesn't stack up with all predict's woefully out, Bureau of Met changing temp readings downwards for late 19th & early 20th century ie ACORNI & II without proper explanat'n. Aus CO2 emmisions is a mere 0.00001521% with CO2 levels less than a 1/3 av'ge for last 600M years

Pffttt !

You lost. Didn’t you get the memo?

We all know its a hoax.

It was lost

This clown is so out of touch with Australians it's not funny he doesn't have a clue every time he opens his mouth he is wrong it's just plain arrogance

Nailed it

Can someone explain to the genius what happened? Please?

You lost it that's what happened Aly

Queensland happened. A few thousand coal jobs is more important than the planet. And of course immigration takes all our jobs. The first is head in the sand. The second is the opposite of the truth. Australians who support coal, or reject immigration on jobs grounds, are dumb

Don't answer Waleed. He is a numpty and only understands extreme leftism. He does not understand

Our World is Improving Rapidly! – Drastic Environmental Predictions of the Last 50 Years Have Not Come True

We had it. You lost Waleed. Accept it.

Spin it how you like. The people voted to stop the climate con. The wealthy suburbs lose big time when the subsidies stop and renewables have to stand on the own, their investments will be worthless. People voted against socialism. Simple as that.

Buy him a dog that might shut him up.

Who is this idiot?

What happened to it? YOU LOST. Various politicians, and commentators like you, referred to it as the climate change election. And the majority of Australians (our country is actually a DEMOCRACY Aly) voted against it.

Waleed needs to go to Specsavers.

The rain and snow came or should that be the snowflakes came

81 seat Waleed.

It changed to the 'screw you, I'm alright' election.

Aly, 'Labor will get 81 Seats' just wow, what a douchebag

You lost, the majority don’t want to spend money on something that can’t be fixed with money

What happened? The 81 seat ALP majority that he predicted didnt happen. Why? Because at least 51% of the population is smarter than he is.

We living in the dumb country most of the parents of those students who rallied for action on climate voted for for the climate change deniers

How good is having a completely mental far-left opponent with an unlikable leader just as Socialist countries around the world collapse in spectacular fashion? We're bloody brilliant, mate. auspol ausvotes scomo

Climate change, the biggest hoax since the Y2K bug, thats what happened to it Waleed you flog

It was soundly rejected.

What happened to him shutting up?

opa1420 Now it will be up to Mother Earth to cull the human race to save the environment.

It happened. People said no.

Horrified. I agree with several points he made. Strange days.

They long were aware that Waleed was little more then a honking goose whose sense of self was superior to all others now he knows he's not

Too many ❄️ come out & have a sook after a devastating unlosable election loss. They clearly haven’t learnt from their mistakes as Albo comes out & still preaches the hoax. Enjoy being the opposition for the next century.

Waleed Aly is factually wrong. The Greens National swing is 1.4% not 2.6% and not the largest of all parties. Liberal|/National 1.63%, his entire thesis is in the dust bin.

Who cares what one eyed Waleed thinks except a vacuum cleaner.

What weren’t you watching Wal ? It got tossed out with the tossers ...

Who the hell would listen to anything Waleed had to say - absolutely no cred......

The left is never satisfied ... now listen ... AUSTRALIA IS MEETING ITS PARIS COMMITMENT

That’s easy. The majority of Australians decided they didn’t buy into a fake crisis.

People are way smarter than leftard Climate Numpties. There is no crisis. Hopefully the left will now self destruct.

Average Australians don't want their children to be told it is up to them if they are a girl or boy .Have the left tell them the world is coming to and end because of a cult known as climate change .CO2 is not the demon. The real demon is the green left spreading lies.

Someone tell Aly that the election is over and s/he lost.

Pagan communist Labor/GangGreens are hostile to intelligent Australians who do not condone hysteria climate propaganda & their atheistic policies of full term abortions/Labors unSafe schools Paedophiles sexualizing children and corrupt economic management.Australians have spoken

Dear Labor Greens + Soros Paid activists Hysteria & DesperateDiversion Protests will NOT stop YOUR exposure OR ScottMorrisonMP /Libs right to prevent Our Country from destruction within. News of TRAITORS around the world is Coming out NOW 🤣 ausvotes WeThePeopleSeeYOU

She gone

More spin from Aly. Probably as accurate as his predictions on Sat night. Spin instead of journalism.

Your view that climate science is absolute and not open to challenge does not concur with the Nature of Sc (look it up if you are in doubt). Some of us have discovered the research of scientists who challenge the CC cult such as Prof Peter Ridd. Have a read Waly.

myfibonacci $$$$ and voters hip pocket

MAKE AUSTRALIA GREAT AGAIN!

What happened We Voted no to that Bullshit Waleed!

Waleed Aly may well ask. The majority of people know it's a hoax designed to coax virtue signaling fools to send copious amounts of tax payers hard earned to the EU cochons at the IPCC trough!

Mr Walleed '81 seats' Ali is so out of touch its scary..... so funny hearing the left ....'What happened?.... what went wrong?.....ppl want fkg jobs over a cult..... simple, idiots....

Who cares what that camel jockey says

I think the 'climate change election' was more about getting Greens preferences than substance. Labor never really had a solid plan (and therefore no costings) around achieving the targets they set. Just a ruse to get elected in. auspol auspol2019

There was a climate change election. You lot last. The voters aren’t buying your bullshit. Get over it and let us get on with providing cheap reliable power.

It disappeared up Bill Shorten arse..!

You had it and voters said piss off it is a scam

'the next parliament looks profoundly unlikely to generate any meaningful action on climate change.' You do realise that if we reduce our emissions to zero, that is unlikely to generate any meaningful action on climate change?

What happened, people saw it for what it is. A hoax. How about trying to look at the cause, world population. More people means greater usage of resources and degradation of the environment and other species. But it seems that no one wants to tackle that, it’s controversial.

Evidence that most people still don't understand the problem.

24 degrees on the beaches today. End of May. Can’t say there’s no climate change

Nice attempt at doctoring the steam (water vapour) emanating from the power station to somehow infer it's black sooty Carbon. Fixed! ClimateChangeCon ClimateChangeHoax

$$$$$ won - good old self interest wins the day again !!!🤬

Wally is a moron. I don’t even know why the media gives him credibility. But I’m guessing it’s tokenism.

There never was one you idiot! That was your ignorance trying to push BS that didn’t exist for most people!

We in the North know that 'Green/renewables/transition' hi one are a lie. They are predominantly part-time menial work, we have enough solar farms up here to see the truth. So send up brown the clown and his band of trained monkeys yelling abuse & epithets.

🌪

Waleed Aly wrote 'only a small minority will ever be able to afford climate action'. False! Many can act on climate and save money. Example: use your air con for heating. Cheaper cleaner safer than burning gas. See more at My Efficient Electric Home.

It was LOST

It went up in hot air! 😂😂

Cost too much! And until China, India, USA and Russia cut their emissions, Australia’s cut to emissions at the cost of jobs and prosperity will have 0 effect globally and is just suicide for nothing! Folks in Australia have figured it out!

More and more Australians are seeing it for the horse manure it is, is what happened 👏👏👏

Greed happened...

Someone gave it $50M fuck-off money.

Mr 81 Seats.

Simple facts are labor stuffed up this election by wanting to change too many thing causing them to become an easy target .. people don’t like change as a rule and instead of keeping the focus on the failures of the gov they allowed the focus to be on scary change

Who cares. We baby boomers won’t be around anyway and the rest can please themselves. The people have spoken.

It was bought by Clive Palmer with his dishonest ads

The Prime Minister would tell you there's need to worry about the climate emergency. The Rapture will sort all that out. The worthy will be taken up to heaven, and the un-worthy will be left with the hell that our sin has created.

We got scared of change, courtesy of Murdoch and Clive.

It went down based on the retirement tax lie and promised tax cut lie. Australians, in particular Boomers would prefer money rather than a habitable planet ClimateEmergency ClimateJustice

I know one thing. Australians are sick of pin head Social Justice Warriors like yourself telling me how to live our lives...

It never was a climate change election. So out of touch.

climatechangehoax is why... they are already rebranding to now call it ‘climate Emergancy’ morons. Up to about 6 different names now for this hoax.

The people rejected penalising the poor and the pensioner and the idiocy oF The privileged!

Phil_B7 It became a fossil fuel election

Stat released today (ABC news). High proportion of LNP vote, Christian, & lower socioeconomic/ educated. (F credits - confusing). Don’t Me. Thems’ the stats. That’s what happened. Surprisingly, many with the most to lose financially shifted to Labor. Whatever, we’re fucked

Get angry and get strong, it’s worth fighting for, believe me!!!

🤷‍♀️

SalimPickens Exactly

Climate change is a Greens/Labor thing. Unless you can make money out of it the Tories don’t really want to know.

Watch a nobel prize winning scientist talk about climate change.

Well the only thing that will stop Adani is unconventional action. Look up Ulrike Meinhoff.

People are awake up to the con

Waleed Aly is so annoying

What happen to your personal a gender, pissed Im sure

Let alone land clearing destruction of biodiversity and our waterways

Why should Australia punish itself when we're already doing better than most countries?

It went up in smoke...

That was the Media’s title... it was clearly the ‘Dont let them take the hard fought for assets (read: jobs, homes, etc) that Working Families have toiled for their whole lives’ Election. Robin Hood Economics revoked! SaltyLeft

I'll tell you what happened. It was the Greeks.

Maybe the 88 labour seats could answer... No wait. Oh Waleed your narrative died last weekend and your in desperate need of relevance.

Who is Waleed Aly?

Hey Waly. You may have dozed off on election night but the election has been and gone. What happened is that Australis voted and you lost. Go away.

Well because people aren't as stupid as he thinks they are.

Who gives a toss about Climate Change, what’s the use of the frigging Climate when you don’t have a job, no food on the table or a roof over your head

IT WAS LAUGHABLE LABOR TACTIC THAT FAILED BIGTIME

Is 'it went up in smoke' a bad pun?

AlboMP True: 'if Labor had spent years talking directly to coal miners about what an economic transition would look like in specific detail, about what jobs will exist for the very same people whose livelihoods are currently bound up in the coal industry' plus retraining by Govt

Short term thinking and greed is what happened. You get the govt you deserve.

They lost. End of story. Waleed can piss off the gronk

We had it and the voters dumped the radical climate changers ( Labor/Greens) ... huge people have spoken . They want jobs, lower power prices and no restrictions to make UN people happy

All Waleed's opinions are bad and he should feel bad for holding them.

People worked out that it is nothing but a massive wealth redistribution scheme and voted accordingly...it will always be known as the flat earth... sorry 'Climate Change' election!

It might just be the public have looked and listened to the Climate Change arguments and decided they are being fed a lot of nonsense posing as science.

It would seem the majority of voters called your bluff or 💩 on climate change

Well it’s not so much the fact that people are pushing for meaningful action. More the way we said it?

Well my dear friend, there are a lot of 'quiet logical people' who don't believe the bullshit around 'causes' of climate change, the Spin doctors did not hypnotise enough of the great unwashed.

30 pieces of silver got in the way of the climate change election. Seems a few $ is far more important than trying to keep global warming within livable limits for our great grandchildren. Remember! It's not 'climate change' weazel words, but global warming or better, overheating

The more rational and less partisan Waleed gets the more he's likely to be listened to.

Waleed should ensure Zali Steggall “walk the talk” and act on Climate change, now. Crush her SUV Purchase electric car or walk Install solar panels Get those wind turbines spinning on Sydney’s northern beaches.

Stop trying to justify the loss you Wally it’s a democracy,hard to fathom is it.Environmental concerns rate but not above some BS sudo Robin Hood wealth distribution.The Labour know most of their votes come from the what’s in for me set , oh and that new power mob Get ..... lost.

What’s the smoke bullshit in the photo? Co2 carbon dioxide is an invisible gas. Hasn’t the left learned from the election wipeout?

Ah Waleed, your attempt to snigger and create disharmony in the Coalition was pronounced DOA last Saturday night when Labor lost the election they complacently believed they had already won. Scomo is returned and his authority is totally unchallenged. Get over it you chump!

Phasing out coal has always been solely an economic issue. As a species we're motivated by self interest. We will transition to renewables, but it'll be business that drives it, not politics. If that takes too long and we all croak in the meantime, well, that's humanity for you!

Climate change what climate change the issue got lost in amongst the more important issues like those poor people losing their franking credits ...now that really is the issue that affected everyone seeing those poor buggars slumming it on their yachts was gut wrenching

Climate change obsession/ madness is a great remover of political leaders. It got 1. Leftist Turnbull ( twice) 2. Julia Gillard 3. Kevin Rudd 4. “Chloe Shorten’s husband” Btw, Waleed Aly gloated about Labor winning “81 seats” pre election. How did that go, Waleed? 😂😂😂😂

I’d like to know where the votes of the record number of young people went.

No surprise there.

Most of the swing to the Greens came in SA where the Centre Alliance vote collapsed

It seems Labor didn't learn anything from the NoCarbonTax elections. Did they forget that in 2013 Rudd was brought back to SaveTheFurniture? What was Shorten thinking with an UncostedClimatePlan? Did positive polls boost both Labor's confidence and thirst for spending? Auspol

The answer is waiting to be bug up in the bottom of a coal pit. Australians are idiots

What climate change ?

So sad. People are clearly hurting to do this to their children

It seems Labor didn't learn anything from the NoCarbonTax elections. Did they forget that in 2013 Rudd was brought back to SaveTheFurniture. What was Shorten thinking with an UncostedClimatePlan? Did positive polls boost both Labor's confidence and thirst for spending? Auspol

The climaphobe campaign got exposed!

🤔

Oh well shit happens I suppose. Waleed got everything wrong again, that's nothing new. Less people give a toss than the CC cult thought. High priced unreliable power that takes massive amounts of energy/mining to produce seems ridiculous most thinking Australians. 😀

I started but I can’t finish!! This bloke is an absolute pretender. He thinks he is an authority on everything including sport. Tbh the less I see the better. Ffs.🙄🙄

Ha ha ha ha ha

This is a fascinating read. We hear you Waleed.

I think many of us are asking the same question. Heard Mark Riley say on ABC radio this afternoon that he thinks the hip pocket won out.

Extra points for using the word 'Dunno.'

Perhaps voters saw through the pink unicorn 🦄 renewables promises of Labor/Greens? Science based policy is better.

Well wallywanka it died with dribbling bill the dill say no more

Greed

What happened to it?...No Such thing as climate change!

It was the climate change election and Australian’s overwhelmingly said climate change is BS! Auspol

We have decided there is a lot to like about catastrophic bush fires, cyclones and droughts.

It was the FIRST climate change election. And climate change probably was one of the major reasons for the swings to the left in wealthier, educated electorates.

It’s people like Waleed that are dividing this country trying to ram his views down peoples necks. We’ve had the election Waleed, we don’t need you second guessing the result.

It's a nice hot day today, let's tax everyone

People didn’t buy into the hoax

In the same basket as Labor's 81 seats.. Too many intangibles, too fluffy, vague costings, riddled with scaremongering. It will come again in a different guise; something more palatable and more tangible. Increased environmental responsibility perhaps.

There was no climate change election people have waken up to this communist UN policy (order) besides not one politician in the world believes in this crap

It’s all gone up in smoke. Cough, Cough!

Fear,

It's simple - we are too busy looking at our phones then looking at what's happening around us

Apparently we don’t care about the environment as much as we say we do

Waleed like Zali talk about climate change. Can we please have them interviewed on what steps they have taken personally. Same for the school children. Just screaming about it is not doing anything unless they just want money thrown at the issue

You lost ! Super Big Time ! But you & your ilk should be used to that ! Quiet simply Waleed , how can you fight an election on something that does not exist , except in the idiot , brainwashed , UN crawling Socialists ! Got it now Wally !

New Zealand is calling Wally 👍

Help Zali Steggall be true to her word. Warringah has a lot of unused parkland along the forshore Sing Now, Wind Farms for Warringah

Australia did what it always does and acted like a bunch of fuddy duddies.

I didn’t feel labor or any other government in Australia could make a rats a**e of a difference to global warming. It’s just another political tool to get votes which backfired. There is a path to climate change but it does not start here in Australia.

Many scientists disagree with IPCC alarmism.

How is a guy who gets it so wrong kept giving a space to speak on topics he clearly knows nothing about?

Tell Waleed that most Australia do not buy the Climate Change {Emergency} Bullshit.

Gone with the windbag.

The problem was that all the leftist groups, media and the ABC sat around on talk shows affirming each other’s opinions. That is why the win shocked you all.

Ask the franking credit recipients. Greed for a gift the country cannot afford anymore.

Up in smoke

Nuclear power anyone? No?

I thought Waleed was smarter than this. No one trusts the left or Greens, Get Up etc. A lot of them behave ridiculously. Can we have a sensible discussion on fixing the problem and who can fix it. Rather than making one's self feel superior by constantly complaining.

Not like you to not have an opinion WaleedAly Why don't you just tell us? smh theprojecttv auspol climatechange

Mike_Clear Drowned by clive palmers lies

theprojecttv Who?

Most of these points indicate that the election may have been about jobs!

People are too selfish. Cant change their driving n housing habit and cant stop invrsting in those mining stocks

Democracy is about self interest. Only when we have inspired leadership can we see the our collective interest is also our self interest. We do not have inspired leadership.

MurdochLNP + Supine Compliant 'free press' = Election / Democracy Travesty

The first step would be avoiding the glib, meaningless phrase deployed ad nauseam here and by Labor: 'meaningful action on climate change.' Labor's policies wouldn't have had any 'meaningful' impact on global climate in the 12 years we apparently have left - it's lip service.

Is gone with the wind.Every one for them gone sky rocketed the pays out are out of control is May with 20C every day and every one is talking about jobs and cost on the economy!We are not going to have an economy or a planet in 20 years !

Create jobs in coal regions now. Take workers from the mines now. Put money into community building. Mrs T closed coal mines. She was heartless. She told people to leave their communities and move to where the jobs are. What a joke!

Australians realised that if countries like China, India and the US want to keep using coal then why can’t we? Unlike climate change professionals, it’s not really rocket science.

Wonder if he has any costings for climate change?

The leftards are certainly in a flap, aren’t they? Loudest doesn’t mean you’re right, and doesn’t mean ‘mostest’, kids.

One day we will accept that people don't give a shit. even if they say they do.

The hip pocket nerve got in the way.

Climate change will happen regardless of what we do. You morons are wanting to throw money at nothing. Polution and climate change are two completely separate things. It shows how stupid people are for trying to consolidate the same.

“Frankly”, Waleed, we didn’t give a damn!

Thats without a huge advertising budget, personal attacts or lies... just quietly 🙊 go greens

Like Shorten it was fake. Fakes fail. Their sin finds them out

You are out of touch , Wales

The Pentecostal will decide

The Greens senate vote comes exclusively from the inner city. This narrow, wealthy, university educated cohort do represent mainstream values auspol

The rise of the Indebted Class, whose lives are so precarious they are less free to make socially and environmentally-conscious decisions. A class more likely to vote for the LNP, who as it happens aren’t that interested in making socially and environmentally-conscious decisions.

Average Aussie voters aren't interested in digging into a political party's policies so no, it was never a 'climate change election.' Elections are simply a popularity contest where the more charisma, negativity and cashed up allies you have, the better your chances of winning.

Waleed you lied to the Australian people for 5 years and were so wrong it was embarrassing. After this not sure how your still giving your opinion on something you got wrong and stop with your propaganda

You lost WaleedAly! Common sense grown-ups won. Now onto 🇨🇦 to win their Climate Change election on behalf of common sense adults & toss out socialist JustinTrudeau in preparation for repeat realDonaldTrump grand final win in 2020. AndrewScheer ezralevant MarkSteynOnline

The people told misinfo agent and shill Waleed to piss off.

Climate election died when LNP won you idiots from the media

We just kicked the can further down the road. So sad 😞

People are becoming educated on the facts- not becoming hysterical or buying into the fake/agenda driven “science”

it has been drowned out by rednecks in d bush They r fixated on coal Matt should be dumped b4 climate debate

Australians like simple. If it is not simple they tune out.

Australians have their heads up their arses and lack the basic intelligence to fact check the Libs

No one explained what “action” meant. In the absence of that people assumed, as much as you find it hard to believe, that you and Labor were using it as a pawn in the culture war. They don’t believe you Waleed.

Environmental issues had never been a major issue with majority.We discuss about it like battery cars, Games of Throne series, football, beer but in majority of elections , 90% of voters had consider other issues

Irrelevant

No, they all have believed something without understanding it, or even asking scientists. At best they have gone to alarmist websites rather than dealing with the facts. However many have seen the emperor had no clothes. Its warming but laways has been

Be economically progressive without touching anything else, you’ll win votes.

It’s for the next generation to resolve.

Most of the electorate don’t believe the sky is falling in. Warmer weather simply means more aircon and higher crop yields (as it has to date). None of the catastrophic effects described are likely, let alone possible. Most people think this.

Waleed Aly would be too engrossed in himself, to understand Australia cannot reduce global emissions. So the rest is just Bull Shit. 🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄

'..dissolve the false binary between the environment and the economy ....' Wally wanker...

Unfortunately it was never a climate change election. The majority wanted tax cuts, job security and handouts. It was a choice of more money in the pocket or less, despite how progressive and sound Labor ‘s policies were.
