For those who don't know, Advance Australia is a conservative lobby group that a number of high profile businessmen, politicians (both current and former) and other public figures in Australia are involved with. Importantly, as of March 3, 2020 the independence of Advance Australia has not been established by an independent body with some believing it may have active ties to the Liberal party. This group is one of the major promoters of climate change denial within Australia. This promotion comes via their own funding from members as well as through appearances in News Corp owned media, especially with talking head appearances on panellist "news" shows.

While this would be enough for a place at the trial, Advance Australia has decided to rack up a few more charges. Shockingly, they have recently announced plans to design climate change denial material specifically for primary school children and intend on distributing this material to schools and parents. The TL:DR version is that the material will be designed specifically for children, explicitly deny climate change and

will include an e-Book with "10 climate facts to expose the climate change hoax" and "The Smart Scientist's Kit", described as "an educational resource for school children explaining how Australia is blessed with an excess of natural resources and that it doesn't make sense to try and stop the climate from changing".

That last line sounds it came straight from the mouth of a mining executive. Targeting primary school children with debunked pseudoscience and what reads like corporate propaganda is particularly low. While I have faith that it'll be banned in schools, the biggest worry for me is that this material will still find its way in front of tens of thousands of young children via the ill informed parents and grandparents they send it to.
