As we reported earlier, the United Australia Party’s Catherine Reynolds and Liberal Democrats’ David Segal, declined to take part.Labor candidate Martyn Abbott is first up at the Goldstein community forum. Each of the candidates has seven minutes to make a speech before the question and answer portion of the forum begins.
“[We] require a change of government to one committed to climate action to avoid the devastating effects of what is still the great moral challenge of our time.” She said she thought former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull would “bring an end to the weaponisation of climate policy that has stalled our progress, but he was repeatedly stymied by the likes of Barnaby Joyce and Matt Canavan, culminating in his toppling by Scott Morrison”.
“[We need to] stop the extraction of burning of coal, oil and gas urgently,” she said.“Yet this is the one thing that neither Labor nor the Liberals will do.Galli-McRostie said the Greens would implement a range of measures to combat climate change, including investing in large-scale scale, publicly owned renewable energy and storage to replace every coal-fired power plant by 2030. She said the Greens would invest in thousands of new jobs in renewables instead of “dirty coal”.
“So you’re describing me as a teal independent. I’m not wearing teal tonight. We’re not part of any formal group. There are a number of other independents running around the country who have similar priorities. And I think that’s because they’re the priorities of the Australian community today.” “[She] proposed a bill that would allow authoritarian commissioners to be able to veto elected representatives,” he said.A questioner puts it to Liberal incumbent Tim Wilson that his governance and ambitions are “so far behind the other candidates on the panel here tonight” when it comes to climate change.
Earlier, on the question of donations, Wilson said: “The truth is, I focus on representing you in the community, the federal parliament – we don’t pay any attention to [that] stuff.”The Goldstein candidates have commented on how they plan to include young people in their vision for the future and act as a voice for them.
Independent Zoe Daniel said it was fantastic to see young people engaged in politics, and pointed to her Gen Z group that has formed as part of her campaign team as evidence of her engagement with young people. “These should not be radical propositions, but it seems to constantly be a radical proposition to the Australian Labor Party and other people in the parliament who want to turn our legal system and [use] them as vehicles for political witch hunts. And I simply won’t support it.”‘Deceitful and dishonest’ websites
