The first term of the Albanese government has failed to deliver a promised transformation in Australia's climate efforts. New government data shows just how bad the failures have been.
Thank you, Michael. The federal government is failing to get Australians involved in responding to climate change because of the language they use to describe the necessary actions. Instead of talking about “reducing emissions” they should be saying “shifting from petrol, diesel, and natural gas to clean energy”. Why do I think this? Please watch my presentation at https://youtu.be/g0mELN0zgtU?feature=shared for a detailed account of why so few Australians are taking action on climate, despite nearly 70% of us saying we are concerned about climate change.

Thank you for this clear summary.
