It is no accident the “No” campaign is being run through the same personnel, organisations and methods of the longstanding, fossil-funded Atlas campaign to misinform the public about climate science, defeat climate policy, block clean energy transition and defeat an effective, binding UN climate treaty — all too familiar to Australians.
The “No” campaign can be safely assumed as being conducted by proxy on behalf of fossil-fuel corporations and their allies, whose efforts to mislead the public on life-and-death matters reach back over half a century.
