According to Essential polling, only 7% of Australians are interested in the virtue signalling of climate change as an election issue. The top three concerns were: cost of living, 60%; improving the health system, 37%; housing affordability, 29%.

On the most important (cost of living), which is very much affected by the climate spending fraud, RET, and subsidies, 60% of Labor voters agreed, 58% Liberal, and 54% Greens. Others voted 51%%, 38% and 25% respectively.

It is not the people of Wentworth that Morrison needs to start listening to.

I still say it's BS that poll that claimed 9 out of 10 surveyed in Wentworth thought climate change was the most important issue.

Here's the link to the actual polling:

According to this polling 63% though that climate change is
happening and is caused by human activity and 56% thought
that the government is not doing enough.

Also it needs to be pointed out that in the Guardian Sept.
polling on nearly every question they asked on climate
change and renewables - support for government action
sits at around two-thirds of all voters. 69% believe it is
important for the government to agree to a policy to reduce
climate change and 74% approve of government incentives for
renewables.

And yet here we have a discussion based on "virtue signalling."

It's noticeable how often "virtue signalling" consists of
saying you hate things.

A fabrication with no links to reality it just adds weight to the view supporters of this government have no regard for truth.

Given that only the indoctrinated true believers ever read the guardian, that almost 40% of the readership don't believe in global warming is a pretty disastrous result. Hell only half of them believe the government should be doing more. Looks like even the indoctrinated are starting to smell a rat, & wake up to the rip off.

Hasbeen,

The threat of human-induced climate change, accepted as
a genuine and very serious threat as a consequence of
the Stern Report released in October 2006 (close to
decades since the release of the Brundtland Report)
changed attitudes worldwide. Australia is one of the
standout countries in terms of science. It is not corrupt.
It's science is first class. Yet for some people none of
this matters.

To some people, any new ideas instead of being welcome
for the opportunities they open up for the improvement of
the human lot - don't count for much. They won't be around
to see it. And these new ideas are viewed as threats to those
who are comfortable in their ideologies.

Luckily, they are a minority.
