No mention of the self described 'greenhouse mafia' who worked from within govt with industry to crash any climate policy throughout the Howard govt #4Corners

Wow Howard as the climate consensus builder that is a super cooked take on #4Corners

There are various reasonable views on CPRS but the idea that anyone wanted to shut down anything overnight is just bloody stupid

#4Corners history needs to know, what genius Liberal MP voted informally for "No" as leader?

For fucks sake THE GREENS DIDN'T HAVE THE VOTES

Rudd didn't give a single speech on climate in the preceding year and sent Penny Wong into deal w Ian MacFarlane without her knowing if her job was to land a deal or get a trigger for a double dissolution

Rudd threw away the chance of a double dissolution election to wedge the other side but looks like that's no more than a throwaway comment #4Corners

The end of Julia's infamous promise, which they didn't play, was that there would be an emissions trading scheme. Which is what Australia got. #4Corners

This #4Corners narrative makes little sense because there's been almost no mention of the fossil fuel lobby and their brutal impact on our national imaginary

Politicians blame other politicians for doing politics and then complain about politics #4Corners

#4Corners on climate policy, we seem to get this annually, it's like the section of the news still set aside for sport. "There still isn't any"

New rule, no journalist gets to rake over the CPRS coals without talking about the existence, on the cross bench, of Steve Fielding #4Corners
