The priorities and political challenges for the Albanese Government are becoming clearer. Legislating an emissions reduction target is a key focus, but how much ground will Labor have to concede to get the bill through? The PM has promised a more inclusive and less divisive parliament, but how much will the realities of politics get in the way? And the CSIRO is warning that extreme weather will cost Australia more than $39 billion each year by 2050 – just one of the predictions in the agency’s once-in-a-decade report on the future trends that will shape the next generation. More Australians will forgo insurance as costs spiral, while food security will also be a key challenge, the report warns. Panel: Larry Marshall, Chief Executive of CSIRO; Jenny McAllister, Assistant Minister for Climate Change and Energy; Sarah Hanson-Young, Greens Senator for SA; Warren Mundine, Director, Indigenous Forum, Centre for Independent Studies; and Hannah Diviney, Writer and disability advocate.
