Labor’s climate promises under scrutiny in second term

Dr Alex Vickery-Howe hopes that the 48th Australian Parliament is working hard to handle the approaching environmental collapse and close the space.

Won.

Easily.

We manifested.

And then a confirmed gas plant.

Until the last elections, I all For the Prime Minister Anthony Arbanese. Well, I voted for the greenery … But Albo took my preferences. I love him very much. There is only a small stain in the recording.

Okay, a big stain.

A stain.

The environment is still suffering. Has the Albanian government fulfilled Basic choice promise Can it be renewable energy from recently and on fossil fuel lobbyists? If not their own deputies It will be believed and not to judge by 28 new Coal and Gas Projects He has been approved by Emek since he took office. I said 28? I am sad, Do 30. This is a kind of hypocrisy wearing a voter base.

Australian writer Tim Winton He would say this lately:

Anthony Arbanese, who accepted our crisis of extinction and climate emergency, promised to introduce more effective nature laws. The government did not fulfill this promise. A policy failure is not just politically embarrassing – disaster in the real world of blood and fur and feathers. Because without positive action, precious things and places will die. This is not tragic – embarrassing.

Winton is a type of gather gather your arms and go back to nature ve and has witnessed significant environmental decay in the Australian waters; I am the type of “Wear a long coat and wear an incubation on coffee, but I visited the great barrier reef of Australia and I saw that our government-righteous and left. Really embarrassing.

Before we lie to ourselves and claim that the greens are effective on this front, rejected a carbon pricing plan He showed the proverb of Voltaire in 2009 and Perfect, the enemy of the good. In fact, Australia would have had a stronger climate policy in 2025 without the leftist idealism of 2009. This irony did not disappear to me. It shows the complexity of party politics.

Disappointment will not prevent me from voting for greenery in the future, especially MAN BANDT’S LOSS Return to the policies and approach of the founding greens leader and the old senator Bob Brown. Nevertheless, I think there is internal affairs. Branding Albania could not be forgiven by a “Nazi”.

If someone really cares about the future of our planet, reality determines the intimacy. . Sea blue independent Now it is best positioned to advance the climate case. Seafarers, a center right and “central central” politicians, are a growing force in Australia. They were The most reliable bulwark possible retention From the former and belt conservative former leader of the opposition Peter Duttona man Usually compared Lord Voldemort, the enemy and torture of Harry Potter by critics and Australian journalists. I say unfairly. Voldemort had charisma.

A Dutton Triumph It would be difficult to watch and it would be a reductive jolt for the country. I didn’t lose my mind, and I would have grown an extra head than any fundamentalist, anti-environmental, anti-immigrant, magnitude, pro-nuclear, ultra-right coalition. After the crushing of the coalition – but of course temporarily – defeat is to accept political and ideological complexity.

It will continue to vote for the idealist greenery inside me; He will follow the realistic sailors inside me Pull Death Eaters center.

What about working class people traditional leftist base? Is it happy? No. Not close. Ugly Living Cost In Australia (if you are under 60 years of age and you are interested in King Charles), it is a obvious reason for widespread discontent, but I think Rot descends deeper More than hip pockets.

Thomas chatterton Williamswrite for AtlanticHe asked the difficult question that supports the global release to the right right:

‘America’s agenda-setting institutions-companies, universities, media, museums-After more than one and a half dominance, everyone is looking for the most inadequate evidence of racism, sexism, unfair hostility, transphobia and all other interpersonal and systemic illness. Frankly, what was the only thing that canceled culture? ‘

This question, which confronted concrete economic and social disadvantages in Australia, caused a sharp increase in cynicism among some of those who faced concrete economic and social disadvantages. excluded without talking The left likes in itself, largely disappointed or Against outright discrimination. By rushing to prosecute “microagression ,, we forgot to examine the authentic class dynamics and the persecution that sticks to them in an honest way. We have this neglect.

Maybe this is another stain. Another stain. We are still Leaving people behind.

Williams summarizes hope and promise ‘A more gentle, friendly, more inclusive and fair world for everyone (usually paradoxically embarrassing, coercion and intimidation)’ ” ” ‘. When the public is almost combined with medieval thirst for embarrassment, I acknowledge that this is exactly this paradox; failure To include the class As an indication of identity and cultural perspective; The search for personal power in the name of “care”; An insincere approach to “empathy” and “openness ;; covered ambition; Selective compassion; And good, old -fashioned snob eyelashes “We woke up against” response In the USA and sent a convicted criminal Come back to him newly gilded White House.

I see that the same tendency is reflected in my country. Unfortunately, Peter Dutton did.

The comfortable leftists floating in the bubbles did not prevent Dutton’s coalition from seizing power in Australia. Labour’s win was in the center, there is a lot here Class to do it to him. In this way, global activities supported the election campaign and Lessons from these events The left and center should be accepted by left parties. Even as a Greenie, I see that there are still boiling resentments. There will be another dutton – and the next person can have a personality.

Our Prime Minister – and I am glad that you are albo – not only rich and poor, but also accept the expanding gap residential and homeless. Also the noise so -called “cultural wars” While alienating the working class, it has become a useful weapon for the use of right -wing orators (you know, the base in which the left is set to support). Somehow, speech should return to the material disadvantage. People are fighting to pay their bills. People can’t afford to eat.

Do you know why Dutton’s Ads Many working classes have scared so much about the price of everything? Because these are definite ads that Labour will work in the 80s and 90s. Nobody cared that “paid actors” (not documentaries, advertisements) came to the forefront, but they don’t care that someone is talking about the situation of working people. Economic distress should be at the center of the leftist discourse. It is sad that it is no longer.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t want the coalition back.

Coalition win I don’t want to see another ship full of weakened sheep for live exports. Posted to die. Coalition win in Australia for a nuclear power plant and I have a Japanese friends plenty of To say In this regard.

A coalition win is more insidiously a win for the global spread of the far right who sees the US President. Donald Trump Disrespect to the memory of those who die to defend democracy January 6The annexation of Canada into a serious republican policy from a despot’s dream of fire, and US Vice President JD Vance clearly support Alternative for the German Party – Real Nazis – the mainstream America without condemning it. Not to mention Last occupation Los Angeles.

Dutton’s pander in Trumpism will not win, now the center left to return to power, and it is still a movement that supports the environment, residence, families, reefs and people working. All my fingers and toes, as in the United States, passed since political capital would not be thrown in Australia as in many. President Biden was elected. We were stupid.

Even if I am aware of my bubble and limitations, I remain a determined leftist and Greenie. I am cautious about every new parliament is a new opportunity. I am glad to welcome Prime Minister Albania to return to the office.

But I still believe in your labor as a party, and as a nation, Australia can make a much better hell.
