Labor's climate change 'invisibility' one of the party's 'biggest issues'

RedBridge Group Director Simon Welsh says Labors invisibility on promoting an alternative vision to tackle climate change could cost it at the next federal election. There really hasnt been a lot of focus on Labor in a general sense - theyre presenting a very small target at the moment, he told Sky News Australia. At the moment, the biggest issues for Labor are around its invisibility on some of these issues so voters are wanting to hear from Labor and wanting to hear an alternative vision. So, theyve got an opportunity to fill that gap, but you can rest assured the government will be drawing attention to this as we move closer to the next election. Mr Welsh said a policy based on rebuilding from the pandemic could resonate with voters at the ballot box. We hear a lot of talk within the groups about building a more self-sufficient Australia: weve got this opportunity to rebuild from COVID, thats the sentiment that were hearing," he added. A lot of voters are attaching climate change to that so I think if you can frame it that way, youll have something that will really appeal. Read More Our Apps
