Remember this Peter Garrett commercial for Labor from 2007?
Most Australians of all ages and from all walks of life are now aware that global warming is real, and that climate change needs our urgent attention....It’s simply not good enough for Australia and for our environment to wait a day longer. In fact, it’s just dangerous… There’s no time for excuses. For the long term future of our economy, our environment, for our children and their kids, we must act now.
What’s changed, Pete? How come your government can now wait not a day, but a year longer to bring in its emissions trading scheme? How come there’s now time for excuses? How come for the long-term future of the environment, we shouldn’t act now?
Were you spinning then, or are you spinning now?
False choice, actually. Our Environment Minister was spinning then and is spinning now. This was always a fake fix to a fake crisis, with a fake deadline but very real costs..
