Not Good Enough

News Corp say they believe in climate change now. Don't take their word for it. We also discuss whether buying billboards is effective climate activism. News Corp are climate activists?

• News Corp are running a two-week campaign called “Mission Zero”.
• Joe Hildebrand is fronting the campaign.
• Their tabloids ran with “Green and Gold” on their front pages.
• McLean’s deep dive into News Corp’s ongoing climate denial and pushing of gas.
• The News Corp writeup of solar panels is just as bad.
• A part of the their other “Green” coverage, News Corp ran a hit piece on renewables, an exclusive with Gina Rinehart, and a puff piece on Twiggy Forrest.
• Andrew Bolt is big mad (or plays the heel at least).
• Ketan Joshi on the whole News Corp package.

Labor can’t deny

• Shadow Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris Bowen gave a wild speech to launch the Climate of the Nation Report.
• Victoria Labor is also shit, voting down a Green party bill to prevent drilling for gas near the Twelve Apostles.
