Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese maintains Australia will export coal for years to come in a call to cut carbon emissions rather than end mining. Mr Albanese travelled to the NSW Hunter Valley for a Labor conference in Singleton.
He used a key speech to criticise the Nationals for engaging in 'lazy cynicism' and for selling out regional communities by opposing action on climate change. The Labor leader said a 2050 net-zero emissions policy means more jobs for blue-collar workers. Image: News Corp Australia
AlboMP
AlboMP Glad we have opposition leader with some guts, not like the wimp we do have.
AlboMP So good for other countries, but not Australia?
AlboMP No issue with continuing to export so long as we hit every tonne of coal with a carbon tax commensurate with the environmental damage the coal will cause.
AlboMP Can’t have it both ways AlboMP either you back coal mining or you don’t. Depends who’s vote your courting I guess🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
AlboMP Yawn
AlboMP
AlboMP They don't get it that they aren't going to be voted for of they don't tell people the cost. Many are gullible but not stupid.
AlboMP So Labor's offset is of course a carbon tax, ie like a Pre Reformation Indulgences payment to the Church for your sins, which helps the Climate and environment exactly how? CraigKellyMP AlanJones AngusTaylorMP rowandean theboltreport RealMarkLatham ClimateEmergency

AlboMP Global warming and climate change
AlboMP Global Warmiiiiing!!!!! and climate change...
AlboMP You either are or you are not, AlboMP. No fence sitting old mate, there ain't no such thing as being a little bit pregnant...😏
AlboMP Albo must go.
AlboMP I know the Coal-Ilition doesn’t know much about change and planning but It’s called transitioning to clean energy. Not the bullshit lies and doom and gloom of change that the right wing Liberals and nationals lunatics keep preaching
AlboMP ..... but is this just Sky News propaganda?
AlboMP 'Net-zero' emissions. How without nuclear?
AlboMP Labor's lost it...
AlboMP This should get the beetroot ripe.... “If we leave it to the Nationals, we will drift back towards the 19th century.' Joyce has a 2050 zero net emissions target from the Berejiklian government to deal with and Albo... FRWN Nats are out on a limb.
AlboMP each way Albo is at it again
AlboMP Anything's better than what we've got currently.

AlboMP All over the place this bloke. I can’t keep up!

AlboMP 2 Bob each way Albo
AlboMP He’s gunna get splinters in his bum from fence sitting!!!!
AlboMP Not really supporting coal mining jobs. Disgrace
AlboMP So it's okay to export coal so other countries can use it in power production. But not for Australia to use for its power. Are Australians really that stupid that this would be acceptable. It doesn't make any sense. And shows how full of shit Labor and the greens are.
AlboMP It’s a Transition. That’s what the Coalition chooses to ignore. Look at Germany.
AlboMP There is a reason he’s called EachWayAlbo ?
AlboMP If we can sell it ,why cant we use it?
AlboMP Hey Albo, to get the coal out of the ground, transport to port, then ship it OS, there will be emissions from things like, trucks, excavation, trains, ships. focus on getting China, Indonesia, Russia, Malaysia, etc.. to cut their real emissions down to our levels instead!
AlboMP pigeon albanese all puffed up again and pecking at the each way bet
AlboMP All the way with “Eachway”
AlboMP He wants the revenue from the sale to overseas markets and pass on the generation of carbon emissions to other countries.
AlboMP This guy is not going to succeed at anything bill shorten must be licking his lips getting ready to do a Rudd
AlboMP I hope the Labour/Greens leave their current leaders in as it will guarantee they stay in opposition for years thankfully
AlboMP Slip sliding away,,
AlboMP How are they going to do that!!!! All talk were is your figures and plan for all this 😡
AlboMP Flip flopping around in circles...🙄🙄 auspol

Labor’s emissions reduction ‘insinuations’ are ‘insulting’: Kenny | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says it is ‘insulting’ to the Australian public for Labor to suggest by the Coalition ‘not doing more’ on emissions reduction policy, it will cost the nation in the future. \n\nThe Opposition last week announced it would take a net-zero emissions by 2050 target to the next election, a plan Labor said was in line with the state and territories.\n\nLabor Leader Anthony Albanese has come under widespread criticism for not providing the facts and figures of the party’s policy.\n\n“Labor has refused to cost it,” Mr Kenny said. \n\n“It insults all of us by saying whatever it costs, doing nothing will cost more”. \n\n“Yet anyone with an IQ above room temperature can work out there will be no cost if Australia doesn’t do any more than it already is”. \n\nMr Kenny also referred to a recent report from The New Zealand Institute of Economic Research, which provided “a costed a net zero scenario,” which predicted an annual drop in GDP over the timeframe to 2050. \n\n“Labor can either accept them or provide some other calculations,” he said. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n How hot is hell? For the propaganda you’re consistently unleashing on us in a democracy? Well, ‘democracy’, now. Labor have no clue what it is going to cost. They probably don’t even know how to cost it , because they couldn’t even give a cost for it during the election At the 46 I will retrospectively sign up for the carbon tax at birth, just like the requirement for MCC membership auspol Australia INDvsNZ

Which of course they did not find throughout the 45/65 thousand years,, Hedging your propaganda bets? Its equally as uninformed and ridiculous as movie stars and singers making political statements.

COVID-19 expected to have 'major-long term consequences' on the global economy | Sky News AustraliaMonash Business School lecturer Dr Giovanni Di Lieto says the coronavirus outbreak “is going to have major, long-term consequences in terms of growth plans and the global economy over the next year”.\n\nThe increasing spread of COVID-19 coronavirus outside mainland China has sparked fears of the disease itself but also of the lasting impact it will have on global economies. \n\nMr Di Lieto told Sky News people are equating the impact of COVID-19 to that of the deadly SARS outbreak but “it is important to remember China only accounted for four percent of global GDP in 2003 and now China is at 20 percent”. \n\nHe said “you can see how this can pan out in terms of the global repercussions of the crisis”.\n\n“Global supply chains or major corporations work on a just-in-time mode which means that global multinationals tend to have very low stocks of anything that is required for a complex supply chain” he said. \n\n“This means we have a very limited time span in which production can be halted or reduced, until then we start to have shortages of key components for producing nearly everything. \n\n“I think we will feel the impact of this crisis way beyond when the virus will be extinguished in the next few months.”\n\nImage: AP Obviously a genius. No one ever thought this...
