Importantly, 11 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: this treaty goes further than ever before, Heather. It contains 12 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 1: a mutual defense course, which means that two nations would 13 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: consult and stand together, sorry stands together if they faced 14 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: the security threat, which is obviously a big thing of 15 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 1: where he served on with China and all these books 16 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: of things going on the show of neighborhood friendliness designed 17 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: to modernized P andng's military and deep and it's already 18 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: close that stop and strained ties with it in part 19 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: to counter that growing influences China in the Pacific, includes 20 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: joint training, said resources, even the possibility of P and g' 21 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: citizens serving in Australia in there who are serving in 22 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: this military with a pathway to Pizen's gifts. So not 23 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: everyone's on board though had come in P and D, 24 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: including form of military leaders are saying the treaty could 25 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: undermine the nation's sovereignty and drag them into conflicts they 26 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: don't want. So it's still not across the line at Carralbo, 27 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: but it's certainly a steps in the right direction. 28 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 2: Now, how seriously you guys taking this report that says 29 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 2: none of you are say from climate impacts. 30 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: Well, I think most Australians are already on board with this. 31 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: I think Australian's voters are well and truly, you know, 32 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: aware of the risk that climate faces. This report that's 33 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: just come in, they're saying it's the first national climate 34 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: Risk assessment, but it's the first of this scope and status, 35 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: and there are all reports are saying that it's sobering breeds. 36 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: By the end of the century, over three million Australians 37 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: would place regular coastal flooding, while heat related deaths lie 38 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: way over four hundred percent. The report says risks will 39 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: cascade across health, housing, agriculture, infrastructure, with farmers especially most vulnerable, 40 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: which is nothing new for farmers obviously, but that's what 41 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: makes it to the climate debate so difficult in policy 42 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: now we're all affected by the climate and the environment 43 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: so differently. Here in Australia, those Labor prepares their twenty 44 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: thirty five emission target amountains, the optics are already scrambled. 45 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: Colist MPs are threatening to quit Overnet zero commitment, while 46 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: the government itself is still approving these huge long term 47 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: gas protects, this huge environmental impact. The critics describing this 48 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: yo yo like political discourse as stainful given the urgency 49 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: of these warnings Heeather. But also, you know, while Labor's 50 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: sort of attempting this balancing act, the politicians for on 51 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: the topic is still looming large. Obviously, they're coming off 52 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: the back of their worst election resulting history and they've 53 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: lost a huge, younger, climate focused voter base that seals 54 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: in the green So it'll be interesting to see how 55 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: they may want to change packed on this. But at 56 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: the moment, given the fact that they've all come out 57 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: saying that they're going to quit, it's not looking like 58 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: anything changing, So we insted to see how this all 59 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: tans out, all. 60 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 2: Right, Sam, Thanks very much.

There's a whole bunch of 68 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 2: them now in the coalition, but yeah, he's part of 69 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 2: a growing number now speaking out against net zero. He 70 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 2: has previously described net zero as moral hypocrisy and a scam, which, 71 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 2: by the way, it is.
