Fiddling While Rome Burns : The Right and Climate Change,
single work
essay
'Considering what the impact of climate change will be on generations of Australians and indeed on the whole world, the shortsightedness, deceit and inaction of the Howard government and the Tony Abbott/Malcolm Turnbull/Scott Morrison government is well-nigh incomprehensible. For this party the will to power is all, as personified by Abbott himself, playing the role as he does, of the demi-god/Aryan athlete in Leni Riefenstahl's Olympic documentary, in lieu of formulating any constructive policy on climate change or health or education or, in fact, on anything. But the refusal to act on climate change goes back a long way in the Liberal Party, as Dive Hamilton has described with dispassionate vigour in his 2007 book, Scorcher the Dirty Politics of Climate Change. This book outlines a Monty Pythonesque saga of incompetence, corruption, disinformation and almost surreal denial of reality which is only credible because of the mouthings of people like Greg Hunt, Barnaby Joyce and Abbott himself. However incredible it may all seem we know, based on present Liberal Party policy and the coup staged against Malcolm Turnbull, before he was 'born again' as prime minister, that it is all true.'
