Like I'm A Six-year-old

Polly Hemming is a Senior Researcher at The Australia Institute's Climate & Energy Program. Just this week she was giving evidence to a Parliamentary committee on the Labor Party's signature climate policy, the "Safeguard Mechanism" - which, I'm sorry to say, stinks. It stinks real bad.  Here Polly lays out exactly just how much of a mess this policy is: how it's not designed to reduce emissions that are cooking the planet, but rather protect the profits and interests of the fossil fuel lobby. We also discuss the DEEPLY dodgy world of carbon offsets and the marketisation of the natural world, and wonder how this whole thing is going to play out politically.  Join the LIASYO Facebook group here please and thank you If you’ve got the means please support this show by becoming a Patron My debut book I, Millennial: One Snowflake’s Screed Against Boomers, Billionaires & Everything Else is out now I’m currently touring my new stand up show IT IS I all over the country: ADELAIDE | GOLD COAST | CANBERRA | ME
