Scott Morrison has confirmed he is developing a plan to achieve net zero emissions but the Prime Minister still faces considerable pushback from some Nationals MPs who are “deadset” against the target | Gallo_Ways

to ensure Australia can remain relevant on the international stage.

“Just look at the disaster the UK is living through. They’re switching off their industry to keep their lights on, and they are struggling to feed themselves. Net zero emissions would just make us weaker,” he wrote on Twitter. “My decision follows months of frustration with the repeated failure of the leadership to even attempt to moderate some of the more disrespectful and offensive views expressed by a minority of colleagues.”

Asked whether this would mean agriculture would have to be excluded from the target, he said: “I’m not going to go into the particulars of any sort of discussions, but what I can say it is whether the commerce of a town is excluded, any loss of jobs is excluded.”Deputy Leader of the Nationals David Littleproud also confirmed discussions were under way, saying “we want to look the Australian people square in the eyes” and outline the government’s plan.

Gallo_Ways As usual. Long on talk. short on action. Do nothing, hide under the blankie and hope it'll all go away.

Gallo_Ways They did this before the last election and reverted to climate deniers after the election.

Gallo_Ways So many plans, so few actions.

Gallo_Ways The tail that wags the Liberal dog all the way to trade sanctions

Gallo_Ways Cue photo of an Economist and an Accountant pretending to be a 'tradie' and a 'farmer'

Gallo_Ways Only because an election is due next year.

Gallo_Ways Wait and see

Gallo_Ways How about developing a plan to get us the fuck out of lockdown

Gallo_Ways Great, an alcoholic and mr stupid himself

Gallo_Ways The old unders and overs accounting gets harder when zero emmisions is the target ?

Gallo_Ways Of course he’s developing a plan. A plan that will never be implemented. It is a plan to get him across the finish line to the top job for the next 3 years only. But as we saw in the first 3 years, he is all talk and no action.

Gallo_Ways 😂

RichardTuffin Gallo_Ways So has ScottyTheAnnouncer landed in Hawaii yet?

Gallo_Ways Announcing an idea to develop a plan that will, post election, never come to fruition. liarfromtheshire

Gallo_Ways Do we get to net zero or do we get our submarines first?

Gallo_Ways History will look at these two badly

Gallo_Ways Did some not inform Barnaby

Gallo_Ways Well they can't knobble Morrison like they did Turnbull. The political vacuum is getting stronger everyday the PM makes another hubris decision for the sake of his political future. Its not about us its about HIS future & votes he needs.

Gallo_Ways FFS. How many times do we have to hear Morrison is developing a plan. SMH keeps up the pretence the LNP is going to do something about it. When ? 2049 ? Just call it for what it is...total bullsh*t

Gallo_Ways Net zero Trust in smoke n mirrors Morrison

Gallo_Ways So no doubt the mainstream media will apply the same vigour to wedging the LNP as they’ve done to the ALP on this issue (not holding any breath) auspol

Gallo_Ways This is why you don't vote Liberal. They are forced to do the Nationals bidding.

Gallo_Ways Australia needs nuclear for base load power. With more electric vehicles comes the need for a big increase in base load power.

Gallo_Ways The Nationals actions are best summed up by pigfuckersarehonnapigfuck

Gallo_Ways I'm seeking political asylum, these 2 should be in it.

Gallo_Ways So the PM has a plan. So what? Scotty from sales is all talk.

Gallo_Ways Neanderthal Matt Canavan and Pa Kettle. Barnaby Joyce …holding Australia to ransoms auspol

Gallo_Ways These coal industry representatives poll less than the donkey vote. What is in their agreement with the Liberals to be in govt? Why is it a secret from the electorate? What gives them the right to primarily represent the coal & gas industry ?

Gallo_Ways These two are holding the entire country back for the sake of keeping a few jobs of the past. How about they show real leadership and plan for the transition of these local economies into the feature so they don't miss out?

Gallo_Ways Ah yes he does have a plan. Another announcement. A semi-trailer full of announcements crammed in between thoughts and prayers and “I don’t steer the semi, that’s not my job”
