The Opposition Leader announced Labor had committed to a zero net emissions target by 2050 and would be taking it to the next election.
Mr Middleton told Sky News he was “also a bit perplexed at the time that there were no facts and figures attached to it, rather an aspirational goal and intention”. “Labor mucked this up so significantly during the last the last election campaign," he said. Image: News Corp Australia
Lol ‘perplexed’ ‘timing’ ‘facts or figures’ what exactly aren’t you understanding here? why are you using quotes.. every fucking Australian is asking these questions and yes we are all fucking perplexed cause there’s no costings, no data.. damn there’s not even a date 😂😂
Remember how the LNP said a 45% RE Target by 2030 would 'wreck the economy' Then after the elections it turns out under the LNP we will reach 45% anyway!!! Now it's the same game... Attack Labor, deliver the same policies.....
Good hope it backfires on the Labor Party....idiots we went through this at the election.
yes? Why now What's the urgency? FFS You have forgotten this already Jim Middleton? WE HAVEN'T Auspol
AlboMP its almost like labor are still not ready for government, focus Albo, focus. A week ago you had LNP on the mat, NOW you have the bloody nose with a silly factless moronic timed announcement. Don't blow it again labor. AustralianLabor JEChalmers
I agree, Such a pointless announcement. In saying that it makes sense for the LNP to make the same announcement, it means nothing. The world's emmissions are increasing, you would think no more than handful of countries will reach net zero by 2050.
Coalition jumping on this but its ridiculous, their own 'commitment to Paris' in fact means they are signed up to the same 2050 target, ALSO with no figures about the cost. Figures appearing from reliable sources. But even Innes Willox of AIG says 'Dont get too hung up on cost'
Albo is a lost soul with the knife stabber standing so close by.

Waleed Aly 'wants Australia to learn from Germany on climate change': Kenny | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says Channel Ten's The Project,” is “unashamedly woke, pitching its program and what it calls news at the young, and presumably, the ill-informed'. \n\nMr Kenny referenced a recent report by Waleed Aly where the host presented Germany “as an exemplar on climate change action and sensible, efficient energy policies”. \n\nIn comparison, Australia was contrasted as a country that isn’t “doing anything” on the issue of climate change. \n\n“The Project claimed Germany is showing Australia the way in the here and now,” he said. \n\nMr Kenny referenced recently released reports that “shows German electricity prices are the highest of the major world economies at 34c a kilowatt hour”. \n\nHe argued this is 41 per cent higher than Australia at 24 cents per kilowatt hour and 126 per cent higher than the United States. \n\n“Waleed Aly and The Project say we should be emulating the wonderful climate action success story of Germany'. \n\n“Is that what The Project is arguing for, or do they really think they can just pump out fake news and no one will ever check out the actual facts?' Mr Kenny said. \n\nImage: Getty \n Chris Kenny saying someone is uninformed. Rupert come on old man. That's so funny 😂. Why then, does kenny get 10% of their ratings and his market share is dwindling? As opposed to Sky viewers, who are asleep at the wheel because they are so seriously ill-informed by your ClimateCrisis disinformation network...

Labor's 'reckless' climate policy is not one of a 'party of government' | Sky News AustraliaLiberal Senator Zed Seselja says Labor’s 2050 net zero emissions target is the type of policy to be expected from a “minor party like the Greens, but not a party who claims to be a party of government”.\n\nIn contrast to Labor’s “reckless” policy announcement, the Liberal Party have opted against an emissions target beyond 2030, but instead have argued for a renewed focus on technology regarding climate policy.\n\n“We will set out our policies which will include a focus on technology,” he said.\n\nMr Seselja told Sky News host Sharri Markson you cannot “lead a nation in this policy area with just aspirational targets” which could have “very significant economic impacts”.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia Boris Johnson is doing it in the UK 🤔 Shuts some people up while clearly not creating any action or even appropriately addressing the problem? Sounds like government to me 2050 is like bare minimum dedication and its still got the toads losing their shit lmao
