CLIMATE TARIFFS
Country held to ransom by Coalitionâs blockers
How long did Morrison think the world would wait for Australia to take climate change seriously (âClash on green tariff bidâ, 11/2). The UK parliament declared a climate emergency almost two years ago in May 2019. Australia will lose every which way if we donât get on board with the transition. It is well past time for Morrison to show some leadership and bring the blockers in his party and the Nationals into the 21st century. They are holding this country to ransom, wasting valuable time, trying to stave off the inevitable.
National oversight of protocols long overdue

QUARANTINE
National oversight of protocols long overdue
The call by Australian health scientists for the federal government to assume control and oversight of the quarantine protocol for people entering the country is patently correct and long overdue (“Scientists call for PM to take over quarantine”, 6/2). The virus does not discriminate between one state and another, so why should quarantine protocols do so. The best-practice approach, based on the latest, verifiable evidence, should be the guiding principle, applicable to all states and territories.
