Victoria match Biden administration emissions target but ‘at what cost’: Paul Murray | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray says Victoria has decided to “match the Biden administration” and cut emissions by 50 per cent by 2030, but the transition is never going to be effortless and costless.\n\nThe acting Victorian Premier James Merlino announced the state will cut its emissions by 50 per cent by 2030 on its way to net zero emission by 2050.\n\nMr Murray said the government “can’t pretend” transitioning from the current power grid is “effortless, is costless”.\n\n“As Victoria makes its way towards more renewables, they will have greater reliability on things like wind farms, which will be set up in regional Victoria.\n\n“Once the wind farms are making the electricity it then needs to be transported back into Melbourne, which of course is through power lines”.\n\nLocals have expressed outrage over plans for energy company AusNet to a large network of power lines over prime agricultural land.\n\n“It’s all good to have these big targets … but at what cost,” Mr Murray said.\n Dickhead Dan - thought 💭 he’s disappearing No one cares what Paul 'fatberg' Murray says. Not very insightful or realistic of Murray to summise that any sort of transition might be either effortless or costless.

Biden administration moving to strip vaccine patents is an 'unprecedented step' | Sky News AustraliaGlobally there has been a lot of pressure for wealthy nations to share vaccines with developing countries and one of the big hurdles for the United States has been patent protection for vaccines. \n\nThe Biden administration overnight chose to waive a few of the patents protecting the vaccines in an “extremely significant move” which angered the pharmaceutical industry, according to Perth USAsia Centre CEO Gordon Flake.\n\n“The announcement … makes it clear that the US fully understands this is an area where the US is normally one of the fiercest advocates,” he told Sky News.\n\nMr Flake said even in free trade agreements between the US and Australia intellectual property rights are held as a “sacred writ” by corporate America but dealing with the pandemic will require “unprecedented steps” to help control. \n\n“The fact that the Biden administration through its trade arm is making it clear that the United States is pushing for the removal of those when it comes to vaccines indicates a recognition - particularly given what’s going on in India right now - of how serious this pandemic is,' he said.\n
