‘Angry’ class action lawsuit levelled against Morrison govt for ‘climate change inaction’

A new online petition calling for a class action lawsuit to commence against the Morrison government for its "failure to act on climate change" is simply "dripping in partisan nature," says Queensland Shadow Tourism Minister David Crisafulli. The floated class action suit against the federal government already has over 63,000 signatures, with a total target of 75,000. As part of the Change.Org online petition, allegations are being levelled against the Morrison government that it has "failed to increase its emissions targets [and] failed to increase the renewable energy targets and failed the people of Australia". "They use dodgy numbers, they use dodgy arguments, and this is what we've come to expect," Mr Crisafulli told Sky News host Paul Murray. Mr Crisafulli said it would be "wonderful if we could have proper debate" about environmental policy instead of resorting to these "angry" tactics. "You have this class action and this angry nature, it will go nowhere," he said. "In the end it does nothing other than to continue to divide us". Image: Getty Read More Our Apps
