Questions asked
Why is global warming's ‘evil twin’, ocean acidification, almost entirely ignored in public policy debate on carbon pollution reduction? Is it not the case that once acidity levels in the water reaches a certain point, shellfish cannot produce their shells? Mussels, oysters, shrimps, krill, crabs and lobsters are all threatened, and by extension the entire food chain they are a part of. No computer models are necessary to assess this. Are we not ignoring this problem at the peril of our national dish? Isn’t ocean acidification enough on its own to justify urgent action on CO2 emissions?

It has been argued that women in communist countries enjoyed greater equality with men than they do now that those countries have adopted representative democracy. For example in the GDR 90% of women worked outside the home. Is the system of government you have chosen to participate in actually an inhibitor to women's liberation? Do you feel you are helping to sustain a patriarchal system?

Although your estrangement from the Liberal Party goes back a few years, it was in 2009, shortly after Tony Abbott became leader, that you resigned from the party. Should Malcolm Turnbull regain the leadership, would you consider re-joining the party? If not, what person or set of circumstances would compel you to join a political party once more, and which would it be?

It's easy to wax lyrical about an idealised bygone era. But would the price of milk and bread really skyrocket beyond affordability if the cities stopped subsidies rural transport infrastructure, energy infrastructure, telecommunications infrastructure, etc? Are we not distorting the market in favor of over-consumption of fossil fuels? Are we not ready for vertical agriculture and aquaculture close to population centres? Isn't it time to move on?

What role do younger people play in the world of journalism where more established journalists with built-up audiences dictate the media landscape?

Considering the contributions to the public discussion by the Murdoch "press", can we legislate against deceptive journalism in the same way we have legislated against deceptive advertising? And how would we go about doing that in practice?

The Age has reported that just “forty-two per cent of people [in Australia] believe in a wholly scientific explanation for the origins of life”, something which has been proven by science. By contrast, “thirty-four per cent believe in UFOs and 22 per cent think witches exist”, something which has never been proven by science. Given this track record of acceptance of science, is it realistic to have a fruitful public debate on the science of climate change?
