Link didn’t work for me, but just curious what level of verifiable negative impact on other people’s lives driving a car could produce before one should stop driving, and what the gap between current claims and “verifiable” claims are.
So #AUStriches Federal Government is introducing new vehicle emissions standards which would ban the sale of new Toyota Hilux and Ford Rangers amongst others in 2025.
This is all being supported by Covid-style modelling from University of Melbourne’s Climate Futures Academy - check this link to their site to see the kind of postmodern neo-Marxist garbage this government-funded institution is pushing: https://www.unimelb.edu.au/climate/news-and-events
The “estimated” premature deaths are fucking nonsense and yet politicians and academics are going around parroting the findings as though they’re gospel. No-one in the media is challenging it either.
In the real world this is going to force people into buying EVs which are completely unfit for purpose, driving up prices on cars and home batteries, and literally leaving people stranded in this giant country.
The parasites literally have no clue how the real world works but they’ll make #AUStriches find this out the hard way..

Common Law has several options. "Nuisance" is one I'd go for. Class action brings the cost right down
Proving actual harm would be hard to impossible to claim. Fine particulates are bad, but they're also ubiquitous and naturally occurring. There are too many variables, and many are only known to within an order of magnitude.
Isn’t what you’re saying, here more geared, toward who do we penalize for a specific death? I guess what I’m thinking is that on an individual basis the morality of whether or not to drive doesn’t require knowing exactly who it is who dies as long as you know gwhat their death is like so that you can assess the morality of driving.
The paper cites deaths, asthma and other forms of disability. All of those are actionable.
Growing flowers also causes those. Trees and grain crops, more so. Sweeping your concrete path on a dry day. Recycling bricks.
Wood fires, in particular, create an enormous amount of fine particulates.
Regulations do not fall equally on all sources, to put it politely.
The highest rates for childhood asthma in Australia are found in South Eastern South Australia and Western Victoria - these are the areas where the pine forest plantations are grown which are used for the production of toilet paper for the whole country.
I don’t see the politicians banning toilet paper and pine forests to “protect people”..
Shhh, you'll give them ideas :-p
If I were a Chinese toilet paper manufacturer, I'd offer exclusive distribution rights to a politician's fat non-binary niece, and put up "Think of the children billboards" wherever journalists are.
paper should also cite vaccine injuries because asthma is a form of mild anaphylaxis and thus fundamentally an immune disorder
since 2014 i have steadily acquired a more and more distinct and acute reaction to foods, even yesterday from apple juice, grain fed eggs and the reaction is bronchial asthma
it's my opinion that the food supply has got steadily more full of allergenic proteins, probably from genetic modification, since i believe that the grain fed to the chickens, for example, is GMO
Australia is a massive country, difficult to understand how vast it is if you haven’t experienced it. I remember when I moved to Europe and I realised you could be blindfolded and dropped somewhere in the woods, walk any direction and within an hour you’d find civilisation. You do this in Australia and you’ll die of thirst before you find civilisation.
In many places it’s an hour+ to drive to work with nothing in between. In fact in many places you couldn’t live there without vehicles, and you certainly could do any work there.
The 11,105 premature deaths they claim came from modelling using some methodology from New Zealand. I’ve searched for it and can’t find it to verify myself so I’m left to assume it’s no different than the Imperial College of London’s Covid modelling which said Sweden would have 90,000 deaths in a few months which was orders of magnitude wrong.
So based on one woke climate cult university institution they’re implementing policy which will entirely fuck millions of people’s lives because they can’t use EVs to move goods and people the vast distances needed where people live and work.
Imagine getting bitten by a snake and rushing the 3 hours to the nearest hospital only your battery dies and there’s no fucking charging infrastructure anywhere.. That’s the kind of thing these policies just don’t consider at all.
