Climate change among ‘most obvious’ pressures impacting Australia’s budget: Chalmers

Treasurer Jim Chalmers says climate change is among the "most obvious" pressures impacting Australia’s budget.

“We want to think about the pressures that are impacting our budget as well as the pressures that are impacting our economy and our society, and climate change is among the most obvious of those,” Mr Chalmers said during a press conference on Thursday.

“So we have tried to lean into that a bit more in this report.”

Jim Chalmers should be reminded that misleading the general Australian public is a very serious crime.

The biggest Swindle of the general Australian public in the history of Australian federation continues unabated. And still no arrests.

When is the general Australian public going to get a referendum on these climate change policies when are Australians going to be asked what they want and what direction they want to go in.

The 'climate change' debate is beating a dead horse the majority of critical thinking people have come to acknowledge as, a GRIFT.

Only when you start spending literally billions every year on things that will achieve nothing. That is called a MONEY PIT!

The climate is always changing. Paying insane amounts of money to the government isn’t going to change that fact.

😂😂😂 Simply saying so doesn't make it so...
HOW does "global warming" impact the economy? Give examples, show data...
Opinions are not facts. 😂

Given the almost daily guest appearance at the NPC, there would undoubtedly be many "journalists" enjoying frequent long lunches without the need to subsequently pen an article or two.

If Dim Jim Charmless says so, it must be true...😂

“Climate change” among the most obvious _grifts_ affecting Australia’s budget would be more accurate.
