Did anyone else watch @qanda tonight & think wow... this is some serious bullshit.
Thread.
On an episode about gas and climate:
1⃣ #qanda failed to mention the $400k in donations that the gas industry has paid to the Liberal party over the last 2 years.
2⃣ #qanda failed to mention anything about the fact that the NCCC board has multiple representatives of the gas industry on it.
3⃣ #qanda failed to mention that there are a large number of serving & former elected officials in the Australian Parliament who have worked for, who's staff have worked for, or whose family members are are invested in the fossil fuel industry.
4⃣ #qanda failed to discuss CSS & properly debunk CSS as a solution for burning coal & gas & expose it as the PR stunt it has been for the last 20 years and tell the truth that CSS only serves as an excuse for coal & gas companies to continue burning coal & gas.
5⃣ #qanda failed to discuss the fact that the government has provided no data or analysis on how it came to it's conclusion that a new gas plant is the best solution when the overwhelming majority of energy experts in the country like @simonahac are suggesting otherwise.
6⃣ #qanda went as far as discussing the possibility that places like the EU may impose trade measures on Australia because of it's terrible climate policy but #qanda wouldn't mention the enormous amount of fossil fuel influence & corruption in the Australian Government.
7⃣Here's the question I had for #qanda
I'm not disappointed that they didn't air my question.
I'm disappointed that #qanda never seem to discuss the topic I was addressing in my question which is fossil fuel influence & corruption in our government.
Here are some of the coal, oil and gas connections to Australian current and former elected officials which you'll never hear reported on @ABCaustralia
And if you'd like to know why so many people have been screaming their lungs out about the #climatecrisis over the last few years, watch this 15 min clip to see what's really at stake.
@TheRealPBarry why does the ABC never seem to discuss or report on fossil fuel corruption and influence in the Australian government?
This is the real reason why Australia has the highest emissions and the worst climate policy in the world.
