Have I got it right in terms of the judgment yesterday in the High Court? Is that how you see it? And how significant then is the ruling? Does it have the precedent? that all the green activists say it has.
32:22
Good evening, Peter.
32:23
Well, it's an interesting judgment.
32:26
And you're right about the scope three emissions.
32:27
They're basically the emissions from the stuff that's burnt overseas that we've sold them.
32:32
Arguments in the past have always been, well, look, the Paris Agreement is supposed to deal with that and it deals with it in the country where the coal is burnt.
32:42
This decision by the High Court yesterday, I mean, there's a big difference if you read the press releases and if you read the judgment.
34:45
So, again, why the hypocrisy from Labor?

So do you want to tell us a little bit about how you first... saw him or heard about him and fell in love with him as a cricketer?
4:14
Yes, I saw him first in 1966 when he came to England with the West Indies team.
4:22
I only saw Sir Garfield in the second half of his 20-year career, basically from 1963-64 through to 1974.
4:31
So I can't really talk about the first part.
4:34
But I was 13 years old and at school in Lincolnshire.
4:39
when that tour came to England.
4:42
And Sir Garfield had set a new record of 365 not out in his maiden test century against Pakistan in 1958.

13 MINS LATER

after after the event and I think there are very often myths that kind of develop around sports and sporting events and around the the equipment that was used in those particular events and part of your journalistic career has has a link to the six sixes and the the ball or balls and that were allegedly kind of used do you want to tell us a little bit about all of that Graham
16:15
Graham, can you imagine the outrage if Scott Morrison had said who he'd like to shag if things didn't work out with Jenny?
16:23
Well, certainly you'd never hear the end of it, would you, that's really characterised the former Prime Minister as being exactly as Labor has always said he is.
16:34
But in this case, it's Anthony Albanese, and it's a bigger issue than that.
16:38
This is really an issue of respect, and it shows an enormous lack of respect for Kylie Minogue, and I would say also for his wife.
16:50
It's really not a good look for the Prime Minister to be so casual.
16:56
If these things were said in a workplace environment, then people would probably lose their job.
17:03
And for the Prime Minister, the world is his stage and he should act that way.
19:17
you think of that line, the axis of grievance? Well,
46:28
Does this study finally challenge that claim the reef is doomed for extinction?
46:34
Well, good evening, Caroline.
46:36
It's certainly a change of position on the part of the science community and the conservation groups, who for years have been saying with climate change, there will be a point in the relatively near future where it will become impossible for corals to survive, so they will be lost.
46:57
In fact, there's a lot of people who think that the Barrier Reef has already died and it's all kind of too late, when in fact nothing could be further from the truth.
47:06
This new research looked at decades of physical observations of coral cover, temperatures, ocean temperature, states and other things.
47:18
And it found vast areas of global corals that can survive rising temperatures because of climate change.
47:26
This is a much better and bigger story because those corals will be able to seed other areas and improve the situation no end.
48:48
What is your view, Graeme, on what should happen?
22:13
Well, if you can't cost renewables end to end, how on earth can you credibly say it's cheaper than nuclear and cheaper than coal?
22:25
Well, good evening, Peta.
22:26
That's exactly the point.
22:27
If there's a, an overarching criticism to be made of the renewable energy transition, uh, it's that there's been no proper cost benefit analysis all the way through.
22:39
And what this, uh, process is showing is there's been no proper comparison either, uh, between what the alternatives might be.
22:47
Uh, the, uh, people planning the grid are, you know, cited as saying, "Well, uh, wind and solar is the cheapest option to go forward," and what have you.
22:56
Uh, but it's very clear they have not had the power to actually compare it to anything else.
23:59
What's going on here?
34:47
Graham, naming heatwaves, is it a good idea or is it just political theatre?
34:53
Well, it's really the continuation of a long campaign to catastrophise the weather.
35:01
I guess we could call the first one sunny and that would be naming where the heat's coming from.
35:07
But in a way, it's more serious than that because we're saying now we've got these dreadful runs of hot weather.
35:16
The last time this happened was 2019.
35:20
So truly unprecedented.
35:23
And people should be scared.
38:12
Do you agree with that assessment?
39:38
And what I find so difficult to comprehend is you hear them all speaking in Parliament every day, boasting about how electricity prices are coming down.
39:50
Yes, extraordinary, isn't it, Shari? They're shocking numbers and it shows the extent to which there's real pain in the community over this.
39:59
And, of course, the situation with small business is just as grave.
40:03
They've been facing extraordinary rise in power costs as well.
40:08
And what we've done is we've turned electricity from being a basic good to being a luxury item.
40:17
And unfortunately, the trend is still going with prices rising.
40:23
And the measures that are being put in place to combat it overwhelmingly favour the more wealthy people who can invest some of their own money to offset it.
43:33
How will Australia cope with this?
