    What have you done?

    I’ll ignore that whataboutism. We’re talking about Turnbull aren’t we, not me?

    He did do something about it. But it’s very easy to paper over that argument in an echo chamber.

    Well, let’s not ‘paper it over’. What did he do?

    Whats more is that he continues to do something about it in the private sector. This is after losing his prime ministership for trying to do something about it at the political level.

    What has he done? What has he actually achieved from an environment perspective? Because as far as I can tell, he talks. Talks and talks. But achieves nothing. At least with the NBN he can claim to have successfully given millions of dollars to Telstra and Foxtel and created a mixed-technology NBN that cost more and took longer lol.

    So, I’d be happy if you could point out what he achieved as PM for the environment or has achieved since. Besides talking.

      Snowy Hydro 2.0 was something he backed heavily whilst in power. He has also invested and advocate considerably in renewables since leaving politics. Compare that to your regular run of the mill politician like Gladys or Baird swanning into telcos and banking, or the others jumping into gambling industries.

      Also, why are you downplaying him talking about climate change? It’s one of his best assets, he holds huge influence. Would you prefer he install solar panels? Get real. You just want someone to hate but are completely misguided.
