Will ACMA investigate carbon tax ads as well? | Australian Climate Madness

So I assume the ACMA will also be investigating the outright lies and falsehoods in the carbon dioxide adverts? No, because political advertising is exempt from regulation and they can say what they like. Will they be investigating the ABC for not providing enough balance on the climate debate, and broadcasting Tim Flannery’s apocalyptic nonsense? Will Flannery be required to acknowledge his statements about Australia running out of water were wrong and promise not to repeat them? Where were GetUp! then, hmm?

Aren’t double standards wonderful?

2007: Interview with Tim Flannery -- WWF-Australia

Professor Tim Flannery: We are in the middle of some very large-scale changes. The melting of the Arctic ice cap is proceeding at, quite frankly, a horrifying speed. The destabilisation of ice shelves in the Antarctic is likewise going much too fast for comfort....an astonishing increase in severe weather intensity.
...
TF: There's probably a few per cent of the population who we will never convince. There's still people who believe the earth is flat and the moon shot never happened. You just ignore them and get on with business.
...When the book came out I had several phone calls from meteorologists who just said: "Thank you so much for making this clear to me. I was a sceptic before, now I know what the real situation is."
...
I think that in the next decade or so, if we're lucky enough to survive this period and get on the right track, we'll be working very, very hard to pull the gas out of the air because there's already far too much pollution in the air to allow the climate to stabilise quickly.
...the fixes are so simple, they're not going to cost anyone a great deal....We're sort of "the Middle East of renewable sources of energy".
...
TF: James Hansen - who is the world's leading thinker in this area with the Goddard Institute of NASA - believes we're on the brink of triggering a 25m rise in sea level. So anyone with a coastal view from their bedroom window or kitchen window is likely to lose their house as a result of that change....I paid $15 a kilo for bananas recently because Cyclone Larry destroyed Australia's banana crop. Just one extreme weather event of several we had last year.
...
My great hero, William Wilberforce, was an abolitionist who got rid of slavery in Britain.
...
And today we know that it's absolutely wrong to degrade our children's future to enrich ourselves, it's the same moral equation.
...
TF: I think that WWF is doing a great thing launching this new campaign [the Future is Man Made]
