Turnbull inaction on climate change brings widespread voter dissatisfaction

Malcolm Turnbull's inaction on climate change
brings widespread voter dissatisfaction.
 

Two-thirds of voters say the Turnbull government is doing "not very much" or "nothing at all" to combat climate change.

And they are not alone – exclusive international polling for Fairfax Media shows a similar proportion in 22 other nations think their governments are doing little or nothing to address global warming.

Climate change has featured little in federal election campaign so far but the new poll results point to widespread voter dissatisfaction with current policies.

In Australia, just 4 per cent said the government was doing "a great deal" to address climate change and 19 per cent said it was doing "a fair amount." But more than half (52 per cent) said the government was doing not very much and 14 per cent nothing at all.
