Climate Wars II: Judgement Day

Jun 13, 2024

Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris Bowen discusses the revival of the 'climate wars' in Australian politics as Peter Dutton abandons emissions reduction targets for 2030. The decision raises speculation about the upcoming election and contrasts nuclear power with renewables. Australian political parties' policies on the climate crisis are examined, with a focus on economic and environmental implications. The podcast also covers a police assault incident and ABC chair Kim Williams's remarks on the Coalition's nuclear policy.
