The last thing we need now is a royal commission into the bushfires. We just need all levels of government to bring the fires under control and assist to rebuild lives and communities as required.
A royal commission will be just a ploy to do nothing to address our CO2 emissions until it’s complete.
If the Coalition government wants to show real leadership, it could meet and go beyond our international CO2 reduction commitments by introducing a carbon tax in March.
The task is not insurmountable. It took Australia one day to declare war on Japan after it attacked the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor in 1941.
It’s time for the Coalition government to ‘‘suck it up’’ and move on.
Letter in The Shepparton News from Tatura’s Terry Court - “Time to step up on emissions.”
