By 2016, will Tony Abbott be dragged kicking and screaming to election with an ETS policy?
Palmer and Gore: What are they good for? Independent Australia Sandi Keane 29 June 2014, “………New climate convert, Clive Palmer, will, no doubt, have attended the UNCCC’s COP21 Climate Conference in Paris in 2015, where he’ll have hogged the limelight promoting a reincarnated ETS for Australia.
Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) will have risen alarmingly and comparisons will be made with 2013, when they fell the most in 23 years — thanks to the carbon tax.
Undoubtedly, all the blame will be laid at the feet of the Abbott Government.
Thanks to Al Gore’s intervention, the world will be watching with great interest to see if his play paid off.
Result? Australia will no longer been seen as a laggard, but as a global leper.
Clive’s Damascus conversion from hero of the little people to self-appointed hero of the planet will see him and his ankle-biting PUPs wedging Abbott at the 2016 election.
Abbott has already attracted the scorn of the world media. As more embarrassing news rolled in of our boorish, blundering leader abroad, a new Twitter hashtag – #anidiotabroad – sprang up and was trending during the course his foreign gafcation.
So what is the most likely outcome?
There’ll be more internal ructions if Abbott continues to stare down the will of the people and squander our opportunity to grab a share of the low-carbon economy. His failure to reduce our CO2 emissions will see him flayed alive by the media.
For a man as bereft of ideas as Abbott, he’ll surely follow his hero’s playbook and be dragged kicking and screaming with an ETS to the election — just like Howard did.
It’s, indeed, hard to see this government holding out with the prospect of electoral defeat — die-hard skeptics, right-wing nutters, neo-lib ideologues, the IPA and mining moguls with bulging campaign treasure chests notwithstanding.
But when politically powerful coal mining billionaires decide the time for action on climate change has come then the end of the age of the climate dinosaurs has truly arrived. http://www.independentaustralia.net/politics/politics-display/palmer-and-gore-what-is-it-good-for,6619

25 Liberal MP’s call for aluminium production to be exempt from Renewable Energy Target
Federal Government under internal pressure to scrap Renewable Energy Target costs for aluminium industry, ABC News, By political reporter Eliza Borrello, 30 June 14, More than a quarter of the Federal Government’s lower house MPs have signed a petition calling for aluminium production to be exempt from the Renewable Energy Target.
Twenty-five Coalition backbenchers have signed the letter, which has been sent to Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane and Environment Minister Greg Hunt.
The target is designed to ensure Australia gets 20 per cent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020…….http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-06-30/government-under-pressure-to-scrap-ret-costs-for-aluminium/5558300
After peaceful protest, Australian activist faces 2 years gaol in Malaysia
Malaysian police say Australian activist faces ‘up to two years’ jail’ http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jun/24/malaysian-police-say-australian-activist-faces-up-to-two-years-jail
Natalie Lowrey arrested on Sunday with 15 other environmentalists at protest against rare earth plant District police in Malaysia say a Sydney-based environmental activist faces up to two years in jail after being arrested at a protest against an Australian-owned rare earth mining company.
Natalie Lowrey, an Australian resident born in New Zealand, was detained with 15 Malaysian citizens during the 1,000-strong protest on Sunday, which blockaded the entrance to the Lynas Corporation Advanced Material Plant in Kuantan.
A witness said Lowrey was sitting down when police arrested her.
Footage shot by journalist Damian Baker shows protesters taking part in a peaceful bike ride before forming a barricade of people, cars and tyres at the entrance to the plant.
Protesters are seen sitting, standing, and holding placards. A protester tells police it is “up to citizens” to decide whether they wanted the plant or not. At one point, a scuffle breaks out.
Lowrey is shown sitting with protesters when police approach and arrest people without force.
Protesters gather outside the police station after the arrests, lighting candles on the footpath. One holds a sign saying “They Beat Us”.
All the detained protesters except Lowrey were released on bail early on Monday.
The district police chief, assistant commissioner Abdul Aziz Salleh, told Guardian Australia that under the government’s Peaceful Assembly Act which regulates public protests, 10 days’ notice had to be given to police before a protest could be held.
The federal court is set to rule on the validity of that act on 9 July, after an appeal against it on constitutional grounds.
“What [Lowrey] did was illegal because under our law it is illegal to be involved in any public assembly without permission,” Abdul Aziz said.
“Secondly, she is a foreigner who was approved to come into this country for other reasons, not to protest.”
At a minimum she would be deported to Australia, he said, but added she could face two years in prison, a fine, or both.
“I warned the protesters they had 10 minutes to move on, but they did not move,” he said. “I told them it was illegal.”
A petition has been launched calling for Lowrey’s immediate release.
On Monday, Lowrey used Facebook and Twitter to thank people for their messages of support. “I am going fine not sure when I will be deported but hope to see you soon,” she wrote.
A fellow protester and colleague of Lowrey’s, Tully McIntyre, said one of the arrested protesters ended up in intensive care suffering broken ribs and head injuries after Malaysian police used batons on him. Lowrey was not harmed.
Abdul Aziz said only one protester went to hospital, that the injuries he sustained were not serious, and that police had no choice but to use force.
“He was injured after he retaliated against police,” Abdul Aziz said. “In fact he was very violent. There was a lot of commotion, but no serious injuries.”
McIntyre said Lowrey was concerned about how long she might be detained and was being housed with about 20 female prisoners with 24-hour camera surveillance.
“At this stage all we have been told is that Natalie is being investigated by Interpol,” she said.
Protests against the Lynas Corporation have been taking place for the past three years.
There are about 700,000 people living within 30km of the plant, which is near coastal tourist resorts and an environmentally sensitive fishery area. Environmental campaigners have beencalling for the Malaysian plant to close since it began operating in 2012.
Market gloom: much less uranium will be needed in new nuclear reactors

Australian govt’s own study shows that renewable energy keeps power prices down
Power prices to go up if renewable energy goes down SBS World News If the fossil fuel power companies and the Federal Government succeed in tipping the energy market away from renewable energy, household power bills could be about to skyrocket. By Dugald Murray, Australian Conservation Foundation 25 JUN 2014 – “….Billions spent needlessly upgrading poles and wires has led to steep rises in bills. Add to that increasing gas prices and the (modest) carbon price and it’s easy to see why two million Australian homes have some form of solar power.
But if the fossil fuel power companies and the Federal Government succeed in tipping the energy market away from renewable energy, household power bills could be about to skyrocket.
Over a decade ago, John Howard introduced a mandatory renewable energy target. Howard’s vision was good but his target woeful. Thankfully that target was increased from 2 to 20 per cent.
Despite Treasurer Joe Hockey’s dislike of wind power – he recently called wind turbines ‘utterly offensive’ – for a country like Australia, renewables make sense.
| Untapped potential
According to the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism, Geoscience Australia and the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences we have the highest average solar radiation per square metre of any continent, our wind supply is among the best in the world and our wave and tidal potential is world-class. The Abbott Government’s distaste for renewable energy sits in stark contrast to Howard, and is bad news for families. Take the renewable energy away and our power bills are going to skyrocket. According to the Government’s own modeling households will be worse off if the renewable energy target is lowered or removed. By the way the Government’s modeling is consistent with the findings of five other, independent energy market modeling experts (ROAM Consulting, Sinclair Knight Merz, Intelligent Energy Systems, Schneider Electric and Bloomberg New Energy Finance). In fact removing the current requirement that 20 per cent of our national electricity comes from renewable sources would see the average family in NSW pay more for on their electricity bill per year than the entire cost associated with the carbon price…….. It makes so little sense, in fact, that the question must be asked? Why is the Government so intent on scraping the renewable power that keeps power prices down? Dugald Murray is the chief economist at the Australian Conservation Foundation, Australia’s leading national environment group. http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2014/06/25/comment-power-prices-go-if-renewable-energy-goes-down |
A historic first, as Australia’s nuclear racism loses out on Muckaty waste dump plan
Nuclear waste dump defeat makes history https://www.greenleft.org.au/node/56682 June 21, 2014 The Environment Centre NT welcomes news that the Northern Land Council and the federal government have agreed not to act on the nomination to establish a nuclear waste dump on Aboriginal land at Muckaty.
This decision is a historic win for Aboriginal land rights and for the protection of our environment from the threat of nuclear waste. It is a historic day for the rights of all Territorians to clean country and healthy communities and marks the end of a long struggle against the federal government’s nuclear waste plans.
The withdrawal of the Muckaty decision today is met with great relief and is a long overdue admission of failure by the federal government in the handling of this complex and longstanding Territory issue.
We congratulate the outstanding efforts of Muckaty traditional owners who have been on the frontline for more than seven years challenging the waste dump plan both in the community and the Federal Court.
From one of the nation’s poorest and most remote regions, the Muckaty community has successfully stood up and challenged the federal government’s cruel vision of their homeland as a dumping ground for the nation’s most dangerous and long-lived waste.
We salute the inspiring leadership demonstrated by Muckaty elders and the younger generations who have fought so strongly for a nuclear-free future and to have voices heard.
With Muckaty out of the firing line, the federal government must now take the first steps towards a responsible approach to Australia’s radioactive waste problem and repeal the National Radioactive Waste Management Act. The establishment of an independent national commission to consider all options for radioactive waste management is the only way to ensure that no other community in Australia is forced to endure such a bitter struggle for justice.
Since a Territory dump was first announced, the Environment Centre NT has been proud to campaign alongside Muckaty traditional owners, and public health, trade union, faith and civil society groups to highlight the injustice of a process that seeks to silence affected communities, risk people’s health and our environment and extinguish Aboriginal culture and land rights.
Australia has a shameful legacy of radioactive racism, from atomic testing on Aboriginal lands at Maralinga in South Australia in the 50s and 60s, to the first federal government attempt to dump nuclear waste on Arkoona Station in the South Australian desert, a plan beaten by the determined efforts of the Kungka Tjuta.
The Muckaty win is further proof that the federal government can no longer hide from its responsibilities to deal with the radioactive legacy it has created by dumping it on communities it sees as voiceless.
Today we thank Muckaty traditional owners for demonstrating with such persistence, good humour and strength that with the smallest of resources, even the largest obstacles can be overcome. We look forward to working with our friends and allies in the Barkly and beyond for a nuclear-free Territory.
For China and UK climate change is ‘greatest challenge’, but Tony Abbott knows better?
China and the UK declare global warming is ‘one of the greatest challenges facing the world’ June 18, 2014 Peter Hannam Environment Editor, The Sydney Morning Herald The leaders of China and the UK have declared the threat of global warming to be “one of the greatest challenges facing the world”, and have called on all nations to reveal their action plans well ahead of a major climate summit set for Paris in late 2015.
In a joint statement released on Tuesday by UK Prime Minister David Cameron and his visiting Chinese counterpart, Premier Li Keqiang, the leaders said climate change was already happening, “much of it as a result of human activity”.
“The odds of extreme weather events, which threaten lives and property, have increased,” the statement said, citing the recent reports by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. “Sea levels are rising, and ice is melting faster than we expected.”
n a nod to the severe pollution frequently enveloping many Chinese cities, the statement added: “In addition, the burning of fossil fuels creates serious air pollution, affecting quality of life for millions. Both sides recognise that climate change and air pollution share many of the same root causes, as well as many of the same solutions.”
The comments are likely to be seen as further proof China, the world’s largest emitter of the greenhouse gases blamed for warming the planet, will place a cap on emissions.
The country is particularly exposed to shifting climate patterns with much of its agriculture reliant on the regularity of seasonal snowmelt. In recent days, Chinese newspapers have carried reports that the area of frozen earth on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has shrunk 16 per cent in the past 30 years because of global warming.
China and Britain’s “urgent call to action” also follows the release earlier this month of the most ambitious climate action in US history by President Barack Obama. Some 1600 fossil-fuel burning power plants will have to cut emissions 30 per cent on 2005 levels by 2030.
The US move was announced days before Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s visit to Washington. Mr Abbott, who has previously derided climate science, said he would not support moves to curb emissions that would “clobber the economy”.,,,,,http://www.smh.com.au/environment/china-and-the-uk-declare-global-warming-is-one-of-the-greatest-challenges-facing-the-world-20140618-zsb6k.html#ixzz353kMhsDc
Tony Abbott just doesn’t ‘get’ the connection between climate change and economics
Abbott wrangles with his own climate paradox The Drum, By ABC’s Jonathan Green 12 Jun 2014, Tony Abbott’s language so far on his overseas tour betrays a complete lack of connection between what climate change is and what it might do, writes Jonathan Green. In September 2003 a young man with a fair degree of climbing talent scaled an old power station chimney in central Melbourne and then lowered himself down its long concrete face, painting as he went.
The result was a towering vertical billboard that read, in painstakingly rollered sweeps of white paint: “No jobs on a dead planet.” Continue reading
Collapse of the Aboriginal dream of Redfern
After four decades, Redfern’s dream in tatters, SMH. June 13, 2014 Saffron Howden It has been 40 years since a group of idealistic, young Aboriginal men and women got fed up with living in “slums and pig sties” and formed a housing association in the heart of Sydney.
The early 1970s were heady times for the Indigenous rights movement in Australia and Redfern was its home ground – arguably the birthplace of land rights, dedicated legal services, and Aboriginal healthcare.
But after just four decades, the dreams of a disparate nation carried by those pioneering activists are on the brink of collapse.
On Saturday morning, the ranks of a newly-established tent embassy, pitched in the heart of The Block, will be bolstered with a rally by the community against their own – the modern-day Aboriginal Housing Company headed by Mick Mundine.
The company has a membership capped at 100 and says it cannot afford to provide housing for Aboriginal people on The Block……..
for the many community members Fairfax has spoken to, the problem is simple: power in Aboriginal Redfern has been consolidated in the hands of a few people.
A Fairfax reporter visited a Redfern community centre in 1973 and recorded the words on a sign there that promised so much, but seem cruel in 2014: “[The Block] project belongs to the black community. Please don’t destroy it. This means you.”http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/after-four-decades-redferns-dream-in-tatters-20140613-zs6qw.html#ixzz34qL0sO1Y

History will not be kind to Tony Abbott – warns Al Gore
Al Gore: Mother Nature has ‘louder voice’ than Tony Abbott on climate SMH, June 12, 2014 Nick O’Malley Former US vice-president Al Gore has told Fairfax Media that “history will not be kind” to politicians who stand in the way of climate action…..“I am not a citizen of Australia and I don’t feel I have the privilege of entering your political debate,” said Mr Gore.
“But we have had deniers of the climate crisis in office in the US as well. History will not be kind to those who looked away, much less those who sought to prevent [action on climate change].”
Mr Gore, who won the Nobel Peace Prize for his climate-change activism, said he was aware that the Australian Prime Minister had once described climate-change science using “a scatological term” and that the Abbott government had de-funded bodies established to advise the government on climate change.
“I don’t pretend to know what the basis of his thinking is, but Mother Nature has a louder voice,” he said, referring to increasing incidences of severe weather.
Mr Gore said that although Mr Abbott had not asked for his advice, and was unlikely to do so, if he had a few minutes with the Prime Minister he would ask him to “think of your children and grandchildren, think of the people who are already suffering the consequences of the climate crisis”.
He said Australia had among the best scientists in the world – perhaps the best on a per capita basis – and they agreed that the nation was bound to suffer among the worst consequences of climate change. Meanwhile, engineers agreed that it stood to reap huge economic and employment benefits from continued renewable energy development and the retrofitting necessary to transfer to a clean economy.
He said changes in Australia’s environment were not only being scientifically documented but were obvious to him as a regular visitor during Australia’s “angry summer”.
……..Mr Gore spoke to Fairfax Media days before his scheduled visit to Australia to train environmental volunteer leaders through his Climate Reality Project. He said the training would take into account the recent actions of the Abbott government.
Speaking at the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday, Mr Abbott said climate change was not the world’s most pressing problem. http://www.smh.com.au/world/al-gore-mother-nature-has-louder-voice-than-tony-abbott-on-climate-20140612-zs4wx.html#ixzz34YbRSYPH
Cautious hope for the future of renewable energy in Australia
Renewable energy industry cautiously optimistic for the future GREGG BORSCHMANN , ABC News 9 June 14, After months of doom and gloom, a cautious optimism is emerging that Australia’s large scale renewable energy target will not be scrapped.
FOR MOST OF THIS year, speculation and headlines have not been good for Australia’s renewable energy sector. . Much has been made of self-professed climate change ‘sceptic’ and pro-nuclear advocate, Dick Warburton, heading up a review of the renewable energy target (RET). And last week ABC’s Lateline aired claims that members of the review panel had conflicts of interest.
But Miles George, chair of the Clean Energy Council, has reasons to be mildly optimistic about the future of the RET.
“There have been four reviews in the last four years and they have all essentially come up with the same result – that if you cut the renewable energy target, electricity consumers will actually pay more for their electricity, not less,” he told RN Breakfast…….
Last month, the Australian Industry Group made what may be the pivotal submission to the Warburton Review. It argued against deep cuts, saying the RET had lowered wholesale prices and abolishing it would not lead to lower power prices. AIG chief executive Innes Willox said that unstitching the RET would not deliver ”overall benefits to energy users”………
The three major players in the Australian electricity market, Origin, AGL and Energy Australia, are all keen to scrap or dilute the RET, even though all have interests in wind projects.
The rationale is simple: the incumbents don’t want extra capacity in an already over-supplied market as it will only depress wholesale prices further……..http://www.abc.net.au/environment/articles/2014/06/10/4020482.htm
Abbott government’s Budget – a winner for mining industries, a loser for climate
Budget 2014: Bad for climate, great for miners Green Left, May 31, 2014 By Mel Barnes The loss of the Renewable Energy Target would threaten the wind farm industry in Australia.
Repealing the carbon tax, abolishing the department of climate change, and getting rid of the Clean Energy Fund were the top three wishes in “75 radical ideas to transform Australia”, released by the Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) in 2012. Number six was to repeal the Renewable Energy Target (RET).
In the recent federal budget, the Coalition government is aiming to do all four.
As a problem facing Australia, climate change eclipses the issue of debt, yet it barely rated a mention in the budget. Instead, the Coalition government has proposed slashing environment programs and research into climate change.
It is not just the carbon tax; even promises that Prime Minister Tony Abbott made as part of his alternative “direct action” climate policy are facing the chop. If the proposals pass the Senate, the biggest losers will be the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and the RET.
BUDGET CUTS
ARENA gives grants to renewable energy projects to boost emerging technologies. In January, it committed $1.2 million to a feasibility study into a solar thermal power plant at Port Augusta in South Australia, a plant for which climate activists have been campaigning for years.
The government plans to abolish ARENA and return its functions to the Department of Industry. Its funding will be reduced from $436 million this year to $15 million in 2015-16.
A review of the RET has already begun, but since the government has appointed climate change denier Dick Warburton to lead it, its future seems a forgone conclusion. Miles George, head of renewable energy provider Infigen, told the ABC: “If [they] took the RET away tomorrow … we would lose 40% of our revenue and our Australian business would fail … along with nearly all wind farms and wind farm businesses in Australia.”
Abbott’s “million solar rooftops” program, which promised to spend $1 billion to help low-income households and renters make the switch to rooftop photovoltaic and solar hot water, has vanished. It will be replaced by $2.1 million to install solar panels on RSLs and bowling clubs in seven marginal electorates.
The $2.5 billion of funding for the government’s Emissions Reduction Fund, its alternative to the carbon tax, has been spread over 10 years instead of four.
Instead, the budget’s big winner was the mining industry. It will continue to receive generous government subsidies through the diesel fuel rebate and will no doubt benefit from the gutting of climate research……….
CLIMATE BUDGET
The budget that we need to prevent the climate crisis from worsening have would look very different.
It would prioritise infrastructure of large-scale wind and solar energy, spend billions of dollars upgrading public transport — such as the high-speed rail system that Beyond Zero Emissions has proposed for the east coast — and implement a moratorium on new coal and gas projects.
Labor and the Liberals could not implement this green budget. The kind of government that could would need the active support of the majority of people. This would be essential if it was to rein in the power of the richest companies.
This government would be born out of a democratic movement that understood that the economic system — capitalism and its model of endless growth — was causing the climate crisis, and it would have to end if the planet is to be saved.
This kind of movement is not impossible. Examples of it can be seen in Bolivia and Venezuela, which have begun the process of putting decisions about the economy and the environment in the hands of the majority of people.
As Bolivian President Evo Morales said: “Humankind is capable of saving the Earth if we recover the principles of solidarity and harmony with nature as opposed to the reign of competition, profits and rampant consumption of natural resources.” https://www.greenleft.org.au/node/56582
Renewable energy cut off in New South Wales by Federal and State budgets
Budget cuts closing off clean energy Newcastle Herald, By JOHN KAYE June 6, 2014 THE future of the state’s renewable energy industry is taking a series of body blows. In one corner is the federal Abbott government, wielding the 2014 budget axe and deploying phrases such as ‘‘cutting green tape’’. In the other is the state government, with a particular enthusiasm for throwing up roadblocks to renewable energy development.
Despite having promised prior to the 2013 election not to touch the Renewable Energy Target scheme (RET), the Abbott government wasted little time in commissioning a review. The chief examiner is businessman and climate change denier Dick Warburton, who is joined by fossil fuel lobbyist Brian Fisher and the former head of Western Australian coal-powered generator Verve Energy.
Without a substantial fightback from the renewable energy industry and climate activists, it would seem the RET is doomed, either to be weakened to the point of futility or deleted entirely.
The attacks on the RET coming from Canberra are about ideology and business pressure, not some failure of the program. The RET, which sets a target of generating 20per cent of energy from renewable sources by 2020, has been the main driver of the growth in wind and other clean energy sources. The figures show it has cut emissions and generated jobs……..
There is an inherent irony in conservative MPs on one hand arguing that clean energy is too expensive while at the same time systematically undermining even budget-neutral efforts to help the renewable energy sector emerge and compete on a level playing field with existing fossil fuel technologies.
With or without such programs as the RET, there is little doubt that eventually Australia will shrug off fossil fuels in favour of sustainable and renewable energy forms.
However, every week, every month, every year that state and federal governments refuse to foster a market environment conducive to investment in renewable energy is a lost opportunity to benefit from an industry that can provide jobs, reduce environmental strains and ease the health burden on communities. http://www.theherald.com.au/story/2335342/opinion-budget-cuts-closing-off-clean-energy/?cs=308
