"Last night, Labor unveiled a budget designed to tackle intergenerational
equity in Australia through bold tax reform. It comes at a time where politics
is consumed with the international shocks created by US President Donald Trump,
whether through chaotic tariff announcements or the US-Israel war with Iran.
But there’s a larger intergenerational inequity in our overexploitation of the
environment. The extent of greenhouse gas emissions, land clearing, and
overfishing over the last 30 years will be a blight on future generations. More
so each year we fail to address it seriously.
Our recent research provides evidence that worsening global weather conditions
will have profound impacts on economic growth. It is also linked to our
cost-of-living crisis through its effects on the productivity of agriculture,
which determines the price of food.
So what’s in this year’s federal budget for the environment and energy?"
