“Cost of living doesn’t affect us – we only care about climate change.”

This is what a Teal volunteer told me during the Pittwater by-election in October.

It indicated the mentality of Teal supporters. After all, why would anyone care about cost-of-living when the Earth is gripped by ‘global boiling’?

‘To have fourth generation nuclear power, it would change definitely the concept for human being, in terms of energy and in terms of self-independence. It means we wouldn’t even depend on uranium, because with what we have in waste on French soil, we would be able to live here during 2,000 years.’
