Climate, Politics, and 'Fossil Fools'

As more countries set ambitious targets to reduce emissions, Australia stands at a crossroads. After more than a decade of bickering on both sides of politics, is the country ready to put an end to its climate wars? The Prime Minister has signalled he's open to setting a net zero target by 2050 but how do you build a policy framework that can lead to the reduction of emissions, attract economic investment and keep energy costs down? And with work gathering pace on the draft report into The Voice to Parliament, we’ll look at the battle for Indigenous recognition. Joining Hamish to discuss these topics are: Malcolm Turnbull, Former Prime Minister; Narelda Jacobs, presenter, 10 News First and Studio 10; Keith Pitt, Minister for Resources, Water and Northern Australia; Sarah Hanson-Young, South Australian Greens Senator; and Andrew Liveris, Former CEO, The Dow Chemical Company.
