If the ScoMo Government wasn’t going to be destroyed before this week’s IPCC climate report then that outcome is surely guaranteed after it. This is nicely underlined today with former Coalition leader John Hewson trashing his own former party over climate change, via The Guardian:
Former Liberal leader John Hewson has called on voters in his former seat of Wentworth to use the byelection as a referendum on climate change and vote against the Liberals.
He suggested it might take “a drubbing” in the byelection on 20 October to force the party he once led to respond to “the urgent challenge” of climate change, and that Liberal voters should consider voting for others before returning to vote Liberal at a general election in six months’ time.
