Tom, isn't there a topic to post this in? If not, why not give this thread a more generic title, so it can continue to be used in the future? Something like 'Australian politics and climate'.
On second thought: I clicked your link and saw the name Eric Worrall, who is a unhinged climate risk denier, used by Anthony Watts to generate clicks for WUWT. I stopped reading after that, which is the best thing to do, after continuing to read several times in the past and coming with nothing, except lies and disinformation.
So, I'm locking this thread, and would kindly like to ask you to be more careful when linking, because if there's one thing I won't tolerate here, it's hard climate risk denial. That phase is over and behind us. We now need to fight the soft climate risk denial.
