But a close second is the revelation about how poorly we debate and treat issues of the economy and climate change. They have been rising ever since the carbon price was removed – marking the LNP’s “emissions reduction fund” as a phrase of mendacity. This is not news; it is abundantly clear that the LNP was re-elected off the back of a fistful of lies. We spend too much time obsessing about the budget and GDP growth and too little time obsessing about household living standards. Had the ALP won three weeks ago the narrative would have been about changing the direction of both the economy and emissions.
