Comedian Tom Ballard hugely trashes Australia's climate change efforts (video)

Shame it was his last show last night. The ABC has canceled it after deep budget cuts were made to the ABC by this Abbott/Turnbull/Morrison gov recently. Shame to the gov. And shame that we get more truth from a comedian than most other news outlets in Australia.

Prime minister Morrison

Here Tom Ballard on his last show gets stuck right into the abysmal state of inaction by the federal parliament on climate change. And it's not only this gov. What prompted the knifing of Labor's PM Kevin Rudd (replacing him with Julia Gillard) was the poll crash Labor suffered after Rudd abandoned climate change action and kicked the can down the road. Australians were appalled, and he never recovered from that.

One of the reasons now why PM Morrison is so on the nose to Australian voters is because (although Turnbull was a spineless puppet he at least believed in climate change) the Liberals have done a Rudd on climate change in replacing Turnbull with a climate change denier who spruiks coal on the floor of parliament. Voters will no doubt punish the party accordingly  in the coming election, just as they did with Rudd.

First big thing I wrote for @tonightly was an explainsly, and this is one of the last things I will ever write for the show. Writing with Tom has been an absolute pleasure. https://t.co/PvlKOV3ZXM
