climate change and climate action. but let's take a look at some the key issues that the 2 leading candidates are prime minister. a campaigning on. this is that current prime minister his in office, and then the opposition leader is antony albanese. have to look at what they've been campaigning hard on. climate change is no way to be seen. if you on youtube today, we want to be part of this discussion. we are asking about how much to strains, care about climate change, but your thoughts, your questions are right here in the comment section. ah, australia needs to release its emissions by the 370 to 2031 to 1.5 to retire and be on track to achieve next year. on the 2050. unfortunately, australia, carmen held, hired 20 percent and opposition parties. entire 43 percent under which a petite waste vision issue challenges to deal with australia. please very all call

a very green place to live. i get to have own of you. i want to go back guess to those 2 lead prime minister candidates having to look at what their mandates are, what they are saying that they're campaigning on very quickly, gal international audience, up to speed casual and for what the current prime minister, what he's like, what he stands for and then what his challenger, the opposition needa. it also stands for what is the choice? what are the options that australians will have this weekend? oh scott morrison became prime minister in 2018 for a kind of palace, coo and then in 29 saying he won this very unexpected, unusable election. now he represents the sort of center right ruling liberal and national potty coalition. and despite being a prime minister through the cove, is through a pandemic which australia has compared to much of the rest of the world where the things pretty well. he's actually really guide

a struggle to be re elected on saturday. he's trialing and all the major pauls, and part of that is because his personal approach is really last fiber among many voted. people thought that he was slow to act on crises like the bush fires slow to water, enough vaccines, and people find his personal approach. really kind of, you know, they grind in the wrong way. he's up against anthony albanese laid the sort of sin to left to strive in labor party. he's been in politics for a very long time. and he thinks through these kind of careful, measured non threatening approach through focusing on problems with morrison's character. he's done enough to when a man died and when government on saturday night. oh, okay. pose. bo, prediction into the price by the key issues that they did there. 2 major parties are focusing on i'm not, i'm not at all surprised because the liberal party,

their forte has been economic management. they, they know that they're good managers. so that's one. those are the issues that they put to their full and then you've got the labor party on the other side that might be. ready on, you know, social issues like health care, child care, gender equity. so, you know, with the parties trying to show their strength, the people in the last election as crucial or actually sent an unreasonable election for the labor at the last. yeah, any content that many content that they lost because they tried to create to the liberal party for time trying to talk about taxation about money policies which really made their frenzy bring secure and the pose move wrong in a laugh. and i can leverage any before saturday. i want to bring in a voice type that i would love you to build off. so this is things blackwell. and we all streams a little bit early on. what is this election about?

this is what james says, but i'm really curious to see what you think the election is about his james festival selection to focus on 3 issues, common change, cost of living, and integrity and governance. the current government with carson is happy to receive relation, but focusing on their record on the economy. what do any serious discussion around them? he says on performance. regarding parenting and disaster management plan, the party by any of them easy highways to capitalize on this. and the government perceived lack of integrity and happy to return to office not to not he is in opposition on for the election. he's a performed government has a long time for say, a future plan strategically right now, can you shoes a more thankfully engage in for patients and listen to all the issues that affect us most yeah, that's very interesting on what james is picked on. there is that the government is really concerned about macroeconomic policy,

and the labor party is really focusing on the caring economy. whereas he had them on a party send the teal independence, focusing on environmental issues, and even those. and it's a big difference between the macroeconomic approach of the government and the carrying economy approach of the opposition. they so many issues that affect people at home, cost of living, cost of education, the problems with health care and then this massive concern about climate change. and you really wonder how diff, the government has to be and, and if you think about it, their ideological approach in australia, the current government is a small target, the government. so government wants to keep out of people's lives. the prime minister is fond of saying, but he's not resonating is not cutting through and that's why he's not reaching people on the issues that matter to them. at the moment i came mentioned a phrase that that could show which is till independence. and that's like 2 colors

of politics merging together to make tail tell us small kitchen. so the liberal party, traditionally the right wing, set of main potty in this country, big part of its traditional support bases. very wealthy affluent parts of sydney and melbourne bought increasingly the liberal party is in coalition. it has been in coalition with the national party for a long time. the national party represent regional parts of australia where lots of people have resource jobs and where the mining sector is really strong. people in be in a city who are wealthy kind of post material types are really frustrated with his government's lack of action on climate change. they want the government to do more to cut emissions. that would the national parties influence the liberals aren't going to do it. so you've had the rise. these independent candidates focused on really 2 issues, more action on climate change, integrity and politics and, and also stuff around gender which again, these parties govern government very teeny at about start

a combination of those factors is saying these kind of revolts in blue, blood liberal hotline the wealthiest parts of sydney and melbourne, these independent candidates who oxide their independent, they will run on the sort of same kind of platform. the same color, teal colored taisha. they're really challenging and am is about, i think 6 of them who are really pushing the liberal party hot and it makes it very hard for that party to kind of read the natal between satisfying the regions way coal is king and also keeping what i started to say dynamic and does a tree satisfy is really kind of a human triple. and i can, i just said fascinating. i guess look, i've has begun. i was just going to say that it's a fascinating, shy couple of politics. we're really lucky. you me saying this way, you essentially have conservative women peeling off to the left of the conservative party and creating a whole new sense of politics where they're picking up on environment and then making it across potty issue that they're taking it away from being a pod as sandy,

she just belonging to the great says, yes, it's fascinating, it's disruption, right, isn't it negotiation also kind of, it also reflects the people on the ground as well because you have people who are increasingly becoming more and more doesn't, particularly because they are dissatisfied with the performance of boy, the major parties, not only their selection but true, but maybe about 2 decades, not right. and that has been a decline in trust in politicians. and it's just not the liberal party, but they called crosstrek. this is across all the politicians across the ideological scale. so the, these independents are really, as i like to say, i'm really giving us a protest alternative that most a young people, according to my research. like, you know, i'm going to be like they're rude by to you independent. the young women educated women who are, you know, taking action on climate change because that's been massively been inaction. wally

in this country. hey michelle, this headline with me because it's a really good question. a strain election. why was climate change on the agenda? that's the headline. where is it? a strains, care about climate change? because they have seen it. it's not like some distant phenomenon happening somewhere else. is on your dose that actually thing houses. so where is it on the agenda? what are those are the big politicians, what the independence why am i not talking about it? because the terrified. yeah. well, oh, okay. and that change climate change is some really affecting people in a very visceral why that is that people now are experiencing bush fires and floods and rising temperatures in the interior. and it's really becoming a very significant issue that's talked around the kitchen table a bat. and a for politicians, i just want to keep the eye on the macro and mics,

a macroeconomic bowl and, and yes, so the more they took about climate change, the more they have to talk about moving away from fossil fuels. and i think that's an uncomfortable conversation in australia and, and i will say, i wish i could go faster and then if i eat a 2nd, so yeah, i think climate has been such a disfiguring force in australian politics because we are on the call face. but we also have a lot of call res, so a sector is very strong in employees. it gives people comfortable blue collar jobs, but. ready also is very politically powerful and it's been, you know, we talk about australia, people might know about how we've had many prime ministers, a constant churn. and so many of those churns what kind of climate related, if you kind of step back and look at what happened and equally the unusable election, there were one of the big reasons that labor lost was because there was seen as far

too threatening and aggressive on climate to many people instead of regional communities where coal had been the black background of the community and right now . so for both major parties that's weighing on the oppositions. mine and the government now has these kind of awkward tightrope between the cities where it's facing this teal revolt and the bush where, you know, you've still got coal. so really awkward for both major parties. that's why the government's sort of approach to net 0, which they did accept the late last year, was very much a kind of plan without any kind of detail or binding commitment. it was sort of a knowing what i got a guy before i come to you need to find out. i know you want to add. i want to get to count melvin korea. he's and most of environment student in university of melbourne. this is what you told us a few hours ago. i'm just interested on her and in you where you want to take us next because she mentions this was a challenge to australia has it really does need to have climate change. policy

here is quite australian has some of the dirtiest electricity in the world where the majority still comes from brown and black coal fi aponce. so step one is going to be transitioning these 2 renewables. beyond this, we are the 3rd largest fossil fuel export and world's largest emissions explorer, because what we are exporting to our neighbors is the dirtiest form of fossil fuels being coal. really the only 2 groups that are pledging to their fair share of emissions reductions are the greens and teal independence. so i'm hoping we see a lot of winds for them this weekend. oh, she came lady out into i'll go ahead. i completely, you know, resonate with cape k to mention that it is better at the moment and really makes you wonder about, you know, 90 percent of the electorate things climate change is an important issue. the

selection then why is this is not signaling to the major parties or politicians and power in the answer traditions. but the 1st few companies on the lobbies around them. they have a lot of power, right. and a lot of money flowing from these companies into, into politics now and to go with the major parties, whether the documentary that i would like to cite, it's called a big deal that has been filmed by the a, b, c. and it really shows how, how much money just, you know, is lived on the table for boy, these patties and that high tail independence. talking normally about climate change, but also about integrity in politics and accountability. it's not an important issue and it's also a part and parcel of the daddy affair that is going on in the style. yeah, really. so i think the disc, pencil between what people want and what is being delivered or not delivered in

this case really isn't be college, all the amount of power and money that flow strong. and i think the speak company. yeah. there are paint. what's on your mind? go ahead. i'm thinking that tom, like the chill independence and the grains. what they want to do it's, i want to wind back that power and partly by cutting political political donations to political parties from the fossil fuel industry. but also the grains want to ban call and gas and, and transition foster and the tales want to use funding for that from 2 to fund renewable energy tight funding away from subsidizing call. so this a lot of talk about moving forward. and this also a lot of moving forward, trying to sort of voting with their faden, the huge uptake of renewable energy and renewable energy is something that could be a massive economic boost for us to help us when we have the bottom full out of

the coal industry, which is inevitably going to happen, i think by 2030 the grains want to get rid of colon. yeah, that's not that far away. yeah. kitchen, i want to revisit something that you said was i'm to your voice about why aren't politicians in the selection talking about climate change? remember the way that you said? yes, i said they were terrified, and that is because of well, in labor's case of the backlash, they caught from the community at the 2019 election when they did have a more ambitious target. and similarly for the current government as well, when they moved to next year, i last year, it was a really tortured process and a and then it's your target. as we've said, nothing burger. but it was so hard to get the nationals who find their party, the regional sates, low, the politicians representing them on board. so really, really awkward for both major parties. and i think i would rather claim that i

ended, the climate was sweeping on the rug to look about other things that are a lot more convenient for them. i want to do that. he gets a compare and contrast. so this is may 16th, this is prime minister spot morrison, talking about what might happen if independence doing really well this week hadn't . let's have a listen. let's have a look. you can address climate change and invest in the technology you need to do with climate change. unless you have a strong economy. you can invest in mental health support or dealing with the issues involving violence against women and put 2 and a half $1000000000.00 into those programs, or developed advance manufacturing or ensure that the pharmaceutical benefits scheme can have 2900 new or amended listings on it, you can't do that without a strong economy. lenny can never take that for granted. and that's the point i would, mike in most states do not take our strong economy for granted. and please do not give us a parliament. that would be one of chaos that would only weaken australia and make

it harder for australians guess he can't do climate change unless you have a strong economy. it's not possible. you're laughing. why? i'm laughing because he can't have it both ways. he's actually tackling that. he's a, he's a manager of the strong economy, and yet he's not acting on women's issues and he's not acting on climate change. so i think people are saying, well, if not now, then when you're saying we have a strong economy. but you saying we don't have enough money to give people arise in, in their wages. so yeah, so you can't have it both ways. i think you make money out of transitioning your industrial base when your industrial base is filing. whereas what's happening with this government is it keeps subsidizing a tanking fossil fuel industry because at the moment it's economically a good prospect. but it is a declining prospect and we will have stranded assets to thank the prime minister for, and we'll also have some carbon border adjustment levies against us. why are the

countries who'll say, well, these products have been produced with fossil fuel. so therefore we're going to tax them heavily. this is what are the countries talking about doing? yeah, so that's an economic cost. i am just been in opposition leader antony alban. easy . and this was a made a fast. and this is what he's like. this is what i am campaigning for. actually, he does mention climate change. i have a look mike, no mistake. climate change is here. now, our region is changing now. the jobs in skills and infrastructure that will grow our economy unaided. now, there is a crisis in aged care right now, families need lasting help with rock, with rising cost. right now. a strategy is, is not have 3 more years to waste into my, there's a whole agenda that, of ocean's. he does say climate change 1st though,

is he still saying climate change fast? is that what's gonna maybe get him to the prime minister of australia? well maybe he started with climate change in that speech, butterball tried his campaign. definitely not like i, i definitely didn't see enough weight putting into climate change by both major parties. and i feel like this word is being thrown around like a bicycle that it's, it's like ok, i'm just going to capture the writers. you care about climate change, but you know, some people are quite politically sophisticated. yeah. and, and they understand that ok, you know, kind of change has been identified as an issue or such a long time. and finally, i've been in the dying days of the 46 caller and you are interested in it because you wonder when my elections, right. so it's really, i think people are so frustrated by inaction and going back to really let me morrison into thought. let me just push on because i have a few minutes and i promise that our audience online to talk to you as well to do,

excuse me, for interrupting you. but it's where i wouldn't. davin says, the lack of climate action has been having an impact on apathy neighbors. darwin is australian, as well as the environment here in australia. kate, you wanna just respond very quickly. if i move on to the next route, you might. absolutely, it's really sad relations. i mean, we have had a government that's actually laughed about the fact that you might have rising sea levels in the pacific. so i think that a change of government would lay to an automatic in improvement in those relations . absolutely. all right to so i's is watching right now. thank you. so right for being part of the program. so what ice voted via postal vote. i choose any one, but the 2 parties let the hung parliament be decided by the best parentheses, lease of evils, tentative people in some ha, busy to expertise they rainbow, was gonna really well. i'll tell you

a little bit about my research over the past elections. well, for the major raising monthly and also women female writers, the young voters are looking into cleans and heels up. and so there is a sentiment on the ground that you are going to make. the parties have had failed us, or we should look for an alternative, and this is where really the teal independent being that they will be able to make it. and i want to play a game that we are a preferential learning and we are it has been really difficult for the teal independence to make it. but really, i feel like it allows because grading is compulsory, it really allows people to have an alternative and have their voices vibrating quality deals and i won't bring in an alternative voice. miss voice is the voice of barry, who cares about climate change, but not in a way that we've been talking about. this is the voice that supports the idea of

actually achieve. let me tell, get back to tell you what he thinks here. yes. there is a re climate change election in the sense that both of the governments gump do the most initiatives to cycle reduce carbon. so i think it's a climate change which and in that i want to vote for the government. so it's going to do the least because closing call for pals, stations, for instance, is going to cost jobs. it's going to mean we lose weight, it will have more blackouts. and the cost of living will go up and alternative voice in our conversation about climate change policy and the upcoming election in australia. let me just go briefly here to my laptop to remind you how we started this conversation. how much do australian voters care about climate change? in a sentence? in a word kit? sure. how much do they get a little into how much in the k a lot. and quite well,

they rank it typically in the top 4 issues at the moment in the polls. so that tells you quite a bit. i thank you for your comments on you, chip. read, appreciate them. hate him to fall and kiss show thanks for part of the strong today . i will keep following the a string. elections miss me kind of out to sarah. that's a rat for today. phoenix time. taking ah. examining the impact of today's headlines yesterday. our electricity was torn off this paul alive, setting the agenda for tomorrow's discussion. if somebody comes to gone from europe, been never called an immigrant, the always known as next path, international filmmakers and world class journalists bring programs to inform and inspire. we live one people on this one planet and we got to work the solutions
