hello I'm from the Australian government
[2]
you know how when you book a flight you
[4]
can pay a little extra money to offset
[6]
your emissions well now imagine that
[8]
your money was actually being spent on
[10]
strippers and coke except the strippers
[12]
are our mates and the coke is gas
[14]
congratulations you're ready to learn
[16]
about our Australian carbon credit units
[19]
let's take a look you see when land
[21]
holders take steps to avoid carbon
[23]
emissions by planting trees or not
[24]
clearing land we reward them with a
[27]
carbon credit for each ton of carbon
[29]
avoided they get one Accu that land
[31]
holder can now sell that Accu to some
[33]
gas company so they can stick a ton of
[35]
carpet into the atmosphere and say
[37]
they're carbon neutral or they can sell
[39]
that Accu back to us so we can say Net
[42]
Zero by 2050 either way everyone's happy
[46]
Australian government
[48]
there's just one tiny problem we may
[51]
have been handing out millions of
[53]
accused for [聽__聽] like paying land
[55]
holders to grow trees that are already
[57]
there not clearing land they were never
[59]
going to clear and growing forests where
[61]
forests can never grow because as you
[63]
can see on this map most of them are in
[65]
the middle of the [聽__聽] desert because
[67]
of this 70 to 80 percent of our accused
[69]
are low Integrity which is another way
[72]
of saying they'll offset approximately
[74]
[聽__聽] all [聽__聽] offsets [聽__聽] offsets are
[77]
great for our mates because the shiter
[79]
our carbon credits are the cheaper they
[81]
are and that means more of them can be
[83]
bought to offset new gas projects and
[85]
keep making the ching ching which is a
[87]
shame because carbon credits could play
[89]
an important role in offsetting
[91]
emissions that are hard to avoid but to
[93]
truly work carbon credits require
[95]
transparency integrity and rigorous
[98]
accounting and you know we care about
[99]
transparency when we put Angus in charge
[102]
of this gig the guy who gave us forged
[104]
documents fake social media profiles and
[106]
a Cayman Island registered company we
[108]
bought water off at Double the going
[110]
price without tender and to ensure the
[112]
Integrity bit we have an assurance
[114]
committee chaired by a leading expert
[116]
well it was until the experts started
[118]
asking too many questions so so Angus
[120]
replaced him with this fossil fuel
[122]
lobbyist and alongside him to ensure the
[124]
rigorous accounting part we also hide
[127]
the guy who's dodgy modeling we used to
[129]
bring you [聽__聽] fear campaigns and
[131]
those Kyoto carryover credit we even
[133]
hired the former CEO of origin to review
[135]
our carbon credits cool and normal
[138]
what's next you might ask let gas
[140]
companies earn accused too why that's
[142]
exactly what we're doing with Santos
[144]
which will be earning credits for
[145]
capturing its own emissions with ccs
[147]
except as we've seen CCS captures [聽__聽]
[150]
all [聽__聽] off says we're making it so
[152]
easy to earn our cues pretty soon we'll
[154]
run out of space to plant trees that are
[156]
already there that's why we're exporting
[158]
this [聽__聽] show to the whole indo-pacific
[160]
with help from Woodside you know the
[162]
Pricks who robbed him or less there of
[164]
its resources Fiji and PNG have already
[166]
signed up for the next kick in the face
[168]
colonialism where we pay poor Nations
[171]
who've begged us to stop digging up
[172]
fossil fuels to help us dig up even more
[174]
fossil fuels so to sum up you pay for
[177]
the carbon credits we make them as [聽__聽]
[179]
as possible so our mates can buy them
[181]
for peanuts to offset their emissions so
[184]
more gas basins get drilled emissions
[186]
keep Rising our neighbors get screwed
[188]
again and your town gets flooded again
[190]
but hey Net Zero by 2050 what's that
[193]
labor will fix this route if it wins the
[196]
election oh sweetheart labors relying on
[199]
carbon credits to meet a fifth of its
[201]
own emission reduction Target so unless
[203]
it calls for a full inquiry into this
[206]
[聽__聽] Buffet the next government will not
[208]
only inherit it from us but also keep
[211]
feeding it to you Australian government
[215]
authorized by the department for
[217]
regulatory State capture
