A spokesperson for Climate and Energy Minister Chris Bowen told SkyNews.com.au that the government would not lower the existing emissions threshold and would implement its election “mandate”.

well they back door each other Greenies and ALP and you know what I mean!

😂😂😂

The who? Lucky the crossbench are behaving like adults and negotiating with the govt in good faith, something a quality opposition would do for Australia, alas Australia gets PeterDutton_MP and his duds.

FuckMurdochMedia

Any facts there? Or just feelings.

What about ScottyMinisterForEverything ? MurdochGutterMedia

Can you believe that MadeleineMHKing Bowenchris think we are so stupid

With a damaged environment we have an unsustainable economy. The current level of damage (accelerating) due to climate change is going to wipe out the ‘economy’ in less than a decade. Any other view is parasitic. You really don’t understand what an ‘economy’ is do you?

If they want to keep being invited back to the negotiating table they might want to stop shit talking the negotiation process.

after scottyfrommarketing's effort the coalition really isnt in a position to accuse others of compromising the national economy

Which Coalition? Who is secret opposition leader to Dutton? Who are the shadow ministers of the shadow ministers? They have form…

Sky news dealt themselves out of the game for wantingly cow towing to the coalition Government for over 9 years so your opinion means SFA

Like the backroom deals the libs did with the nationals to set Australia back decades?

How with the cost of living spiralling out of control. Can people think about it. Reality is not a strong point.

Who cares what the LNP say. Get reporting news not the right wing propaganda of spent coalition. Move on.

'by caving to demands from the Greens'. Also known as negotiating ya fuckin' clowns. Also known as a politician's job! I hope some of your subscribers are aware of this sensationalist, inflammatory language you use. Herald Sun is the same shit.

Fu*K Rupert

They and you are irrelevant.

'Backroom deals'? In a week the Coalition's former PM and ministers were caught in a secret backroom power grab. Man, that takes some chutzpah.

And sensible minded Australians new that Labor and The Greens would be doing deals!

They are absolutely correct. Sky News needs to stop leaning to the left and report on the actual things that are impacting us all. Cost of living, broken promises, call out the hypocrisy of the Voice and someone actually ask Albo why he ignored our Vets?

The last LNP government did not control the Senate. They did deals to get every legislation passed.

The LNP are so salty they are insignificant, in the governance of Australia…

Whatever we do we ARE about to go through energy & climate crises. We caused them by electing corrupt, gutless, inept politicians who failed to act 10 years ago. We must learn from histories’ lessons & at least minimise the harm to our grandchildren.

Wow there’s a shock. Pretty sure that was flagged before the election… Backyard preference deals coming back to haunt Australians

'We will govern in our own right and we do not need rge Greens' Famous last words from lying Albo auspol

The coalition is not a party. Useless pretend media

It will be interesting if true, the government has consistently said they will not change from them promised climate change action.

The new Labor government already proving to be a lazy, disorganised shambles. The loafer Albanese more interested in travel junkets and holidays than dealing with the issues affecting the vast majority of Australians.

I see corrupt politicians, I see them everywhere 🙄

Family sedan taxes going up. New taxes on non EV cars coming. New emissions standards to drive up prices. Bowenchris PeterDutton_MP

Meanwhile Scotty did back-room deals with himself

Is the coalition still a thing? I thought ScottyMinisterForEverything breached the SECRET agreement. I know the nationals and the liberals love SECRETS. McCormack knew. Bridget knew. Pitt knew. How many other nationals knew.

Umm, the Coalition are in opposition because they 'compromised the national economy' 🤭

Is this the coalition that left is with an $834bn debt talking? Pfft. Also, not sure how creating jobs in battery creation and EVs is going to wreck the economy. I thought jobs were good for the economy, but there you go.

Unlike the secret deal between liberal party and the nationals.

Secret Coalition agreement anyone?

Government who lost an election because they failed so badly on climate issues thinks new government should also fail to make it fair?

Dutton has ‘backed in’ Morrison by ‘refusing’ to support Karen Andrews’ calls for him to resignLabor MP Josh Burns says Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has backed in Scott Morrison by refusing to support Shadow Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews’ calls for him to resign. Shadow Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews called on the former prime minister to resign from Parliament following revelations he secretly swore himself into five portfolios while in office. “She’s completely side-lined, and her viewpoint expressed by her as the Shadow Home Affairs Minister is completely being ignored by Peter Dutton, Sussan Ley, the Liberal Party leadership right now,” Mr Burns told Sky News Australia. “It says a lot about her standing right now.” So what major dirt does Morrison have on PeterDutton_MP? Big Fat Nothing Burger joshburnsmp is wrong 99% of the time, but in this instance he isn’t. That’s the most amazing thing about this utterance.🤪

'A dog of a project': Liberal MP criticises Victoria’s $200 billion blow outVictoria’s shadow transport minister has hit out at the Andrews Government for crippling the state with $200 billion of “astronomical” debt after the estimated costs of the Suburban Railway Loop quadrupled. Same bureaucratic way to enrich themselves at expenses of taxpayers money. In Latin poor countries politicians announce a project that never is executed nor delivered. humanity This is the first time he has been seen since his unsuccessful leadership challenge. Why?

Labor ‘pearl-clutching’ on Morrison controversy makes them ‘look like an opposition’Shadow Finance Minister Jane Hume says the “pearl-clutching” around the controversy of former prime minister Scott Morrison’s secret ministerial swearings has “made the current government look like an opposition”. “They have loved the opportunity to talk about the previous government, rather than talking about the issues that are important to Australians today,” Ms Hume told Sky News Australia. “Now it’s time to focus back on those important issues of rising costs of living, rising inflation, the need for increased productivity in our economy.” Complicit 'journalists' won't publish any details of 'Christian values' Morrison's extra marital affairs, I think Jane's doing the clutching. Did she ever have a relationship with Morrison? Proper saddos the lot of em 🖕

'My concern is that the government has taken its eye off the ball and its focus away from what is most important, which is addressing the cost of living and rising inflation.'

'Troubling and worrying times': Birmingham's warning over Solomons' Huawei dealShadow Foreign Minister Simon Birmingham has warned Labor that there must be communication with the Solomon Islands amid its announcement it would borrow almost $100 million from China to purchase 161 broadband towers from Huawei. Albo was too busy having the rug pulled under him to notice what was happening. He should release the full minutes of his conversations with the SI leader. Was Albo aware of this development. If not, why? It’s rich Birmingham’s saying there must be communications with the Solomons when he was part of the former LNP govt that communicated with no one and rode roughshod over everything. Don’t worry Simon……Ms Wong has everything u der control!!
