Just this week she was giving evidence to a Parliamentary committee on the Labor Party's signature climate policy, the "Safeguard Mechanism" - which, I'm sorry to say, stinks. It stinks real bad.  Here Polly lays out exactly just how much of a mess this policy is: how it's not designed to reduce emissions that are cooking the planet, but rather protect the profits and interests of the fossil fuel lobby. We also discuss the DEEPLY dodgy world of carbon offsets and the marketisation of the natural world, and wonder how this whole thing is going to play out politically.  Join the LIASYO Facebook group here please and thank you If you\u2019ve got the means please support this show by becoming a Patron My debut book I, Millennial: One Snowflake\u2019s Screed Against Boomers, Billionaires & Everything Else is out now I\u2019m currently touring my new stand up show IT IS I all over the country: ADELAIDE | GOLD COAST | CANBERRA | MELBOURNE | SYDNEY | CAIRNS | TOOWOOMBA | BRISBANE To get discounted tickets to Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne & Sydney, use the promo code PODCAST For discounted tickets to my shows in Brisbane, click here I\u2019m doing just 2 shows of my comedy lecture YES\/NO at the Melbourne Comedy Festival \u2013 BOOK HERE  Check out with my other podcast about the Greens and green politics with Emerald Moon, Serious Danger @PollyJHemming @TheAusInstitute AustraliaInstitute.org Polly's speech, "What is Climate Integrity?"  Labor\u2019s Safeguard policy is a mirror image of fossil industry greenwashing by Ketan Joshi for RenewEconomy.com.au The Great Stock'n'Coal Swindle by Nick Feik  ","author_name":"Like I'm A Six-Year-Old","author_url":"http:\/\/likeimasixyearold.libsyn.com\/","html":"
