Last night the Morrison Government rushed reheated Abbot-era environmental legislation through the House of Representatives without debate. The bill would yet again undermine protections and fail to deliver the national standards recommended by the recent federal environment law review. It’s just the latest attack on the nation’s life support systems in a seven year record of destruction, any one of which should be disqualifying for any party claiming to represent the Australian people.

By focusing on solutions, adopting a light-hearted engaging tone, and weaving individualism into a broader social fabric, Craig Reucassel succeeds where many have failed before him.

As the Prime Minister continues to deny the factual links between the climate, bushfire, and drought emergencies devastating the nation, there can be no doubt that the Australian state has been completely captured by fossil fuel and media billionaires.

No government could be so morally bankrupt and pathetic as to throw a dead cat on the table in the middle of a national emergency, could they?
