| Subject: OZschwitz eco-impositionist: Why I'm introducing the people’s Climate Change Bill Sat Feb 29, 2020 6:33 pm | |
| My dream as a 13-year-old was to get to the top of my sport. As an Australian competing in a sport dominated by northern-hemisphere countries, the odds were against me and there were many who didn’t believe it was possible. But with ambition, a lot of hard work and resilience, it was possible.
My challenge now is to set Australia on a safer climate future, for my kids and future generations. That is why I will be introducing the people’s Climate Change Bill to the Australian Parliament in March, to end a decade of divisive politics over Australia’s future.
Sadly, the lessons of this summer already seem forgotten as Liberal backbenchers Jason Falinski MP and Tim Wilson MP couldn’t resist playing politics and misrepresenting the bill in an opinion piece in these pages last week.
So I am calling on all MPs to think carefully about the responsibility they owe to their electorates, their children and future generations and support this plan for the future with a conscience vote. Our country is crying out for certainty on climate policy and this is what the bill provides. As I write, more than 60,000 Australians have signed up to the website calling for a Climate Change Bill to be supported by all members of Parliament.
