Stand By Your Ban: A Post-Truth Reflection
Welcome to Post-Truth Australia, where the lies have become so brazen they’ve stopped pretending to be anything else. The Coalition’s “Net Zero Heroes” want to dig up every tonne of coal in the country. Tasmania’s preparing a modern potlatch ceremony – ceremonially bankrupting itself with a stadium that’ll cost billions while the AFL chips in $15 million.

Clarke & Dawe would have slaughtered the Liberals’ “Net Zero position”.
So here it is — as if they’ve just walked back into the ABC newsroom.
Net Zero, poor thing, never stood a chance
