Member of Government Speech - Grand Final

James Dray on behalf of Oxford D:

A farmboy from Africa ...

and how to change the attitudes of individuals as regards pollution.

Rebuttal:
- Tax will hurt growth - affecting productive and unproductive elements at the same time.
- Flat tax disproportionately hurts the Third World ... reduction schemes are different from that of the First World.
- The First World will be driving innovation ... and thus reduce rather than buy out.

Triggering individual clean green awareness (affecting attitudes)
- Best done by way of growth ... oh, we're getting all postmaterialist ...
- Green politics in the West, given the satisfaction of individuals' material needs.
- Individuals hold states accountable for climate change ... states act upon political demand.

Nice extension!
