Magoo thinks he’s the Guru when it comes to social media control after Britain followed his under 16 ban. It is a little unsettling.
Amid anxiety in industry ranks that federal Labor could crackdown on Fuel Tax Credits used by miners, farmers and builders, a CCA insights paper has revealed Mr Bowen’s Department of Climate Change and Energy is leading a government-wide push to hit back against those undermining Labor’s climate and energy policy.
The department, when contacted for comment about the working group, cited “strong and persistent public concern about the spread of climate and energy misinformation” presented to a Greens-proposed and Greens-led Senate inquiry earlier this year.
The CCA said the new working group could: establish a “more collaborative approach to addressing climate misinformation” by developing a shared message framework across agencies; translate technical policy into practical explanations; use audience insight and misinformation monitoring to identify risks; and establish a “whole-of-government rapid-response approach to climate and energy misinformation”.
The insights paper – “Misinformation: A climate policy risk” – said climate misinformation was “part of a broader challenge around information integrity that affects many policy areas … effective responses require co-ordination across government, with different agencies contributing expertise, insights and actions within their respective mandates”.
The CCA paper, which warned that climate misinformation was “already affecting how climate policy is delivered in Australia”, identified “common narratives” fuelling “uncertainty about climate policies, technologies and solutions”. These included misinformation narratives linked to “cost-of-living, energy prices and reliability, jobs, regional impacts, biodiversity and environmental impacts, whether Australia’s action matters”.
The Department of Climate Change and Energy said it was “committed to continually improving the way it communicates and providing clear factual information that is accessible to all Australians.
“The department’s communication efforts are dedicated to helping Australians to understand the facts about our energy system and the impact of climate change – so people can understand and engage with the energy transition to improve social licence and ensure community concerns are heard and considered,” a spokesman said.
As the Albanese government seeks to reclaim control over its renewables and climate change agenda, the CCA this week held a briefing call with industry representatives and groups who have advocated that fuel tax credits be abolished or wound back.

Already the Climate Porn industry is using the ghastly death and destruction in Nepal to sell Net Zero and Socialism, even though landslides have always happened, and there was a far worse one in 1190AD.
