I'll be keeping a running log of all these breaches.
It's pointless making a formal complaint, as breaches related to these issues are cultural, normative and any formal complaint is treated as a territorial game by the editorial 'keeper'.

I suggest listening to Matthew England Naomi Oreskes talking about the way media and government partakes in "status quo bias" to normalise climate denial misinformation & disinformation;

"IS THIS HOW YOU FEEL?"
A project which asks climate scientists; "How does climate change make you feel"
Read the letters, think about the difference between Covid (top scientists 3 times a day) & climate change science etc, which is avoided.

Net zero by 2050 and 43% cuts are both unsupported by the science, an important fact unmentioned.

Further to this odious meme 'The greens want to let the perfect be the enemy of the good'.
I'd like any journalist to explain why (when they omit temperature) 1.5C-2C is perfect (when we know we likely won't make that), but +2- 4.5C is good?

The term 'net zero' used constantly with no attempt to utilise its Paris twin - 1.5C-2.0C asap. It's a mechanical term. By avoiding th physical science of temperature Australian journalists & gov avoid actual scrutiny of the effectiveness of climate policy

My questions would be;
How effective & cost effective was the CPRS?
Does Labor admit Kevin designed a dud?
Why didn't Labor negotiate with the Greens at that time?
Has Labor learned anything?
