Penbo said during Thursday\u2019s Breaking @ 8 segment:<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a bit of a stink going on involving the Gawler council that has a councillor or a small group of councillors who are of the view that the situation at the moment in terms of climate change with our planet is so dire that the township of Gawler should declare a worldwide climate emergency.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s pages and pages of supporting evidence and it\u2019s all written in full caps with lots of exclamation marks:<\/p>\n
\u2018Now is the time to act while we still have a chance, but time has almost run out. Now is the time to declare that we face a climate emergency. Now is the time to develop and enact a climate emergency action plan, for the LGA to take this necessary and bold move and declare that there is a climate emergency and to commit to developing a climate emergency action plan that guides all future policy and decisions making\u2019… <\/em><\/p>\n
“It just goes on and on and on.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe LGA has said thanks for that guys, it\u2019s not really what we\u2019re after.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe in climate change and I think that it\u2019s important that we have the debate about the policies that we put in place… However the idea that the Gawler council should down tools and forget about all basic service issues\u2026 so the LGA said we are going to get back to our knitting and I think most ratepayers will welcome it with open arms.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
