The federal government will rely on mammoth spending on new energy projects to cut greenhouse gas emissions to net zero levels by 2050 in a climate policy to be released as soon as Tuesday after a deal with the Nationals to endorse the target.
Labor leader Anthony Albanese called on Mr Morrison to reveal the plan after telling Parliament on Monday he welcomed the government’s move to adopt the 2050 target Labor had taken to the last federal election. Mr Albanese dismissed that as a “joke” in a series of interjections about the long wait for the government to produce the policy while it negotiated with the Nationals.“You’ve been in government for nine years,” the Labor leader said across the House of Representatives.
The Nationals are confident of gaining changes to the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation to ease what they see as “green tape” on farmers and miners, sparking a likely fight in Parliament over the scale of the changes when Labor and the Greens want stronger checks on new projects. Mr Pitt first rose to cabinet when one of Mr Joyce’s closest colleagues, Matt Canavan, quit the frontbench out of frustration with former leader Michael McCormack. He was dumped from cabinet when Mr Joyce returned to the Nationals’ leadership in June and promoted one of his supporters, Andrew Gee, to the senior rank.

CroweDM They've taken the bait!! Labor/greens 🎣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

CroweDM The LNP has just lost half of it's voter base to appease voters from the left that would never vote for them anyway. RIP LNP.

There is ‘every reason’ to have nuclear energy as an optionHelen who? Why is that so? Generally speaking, the most efficient procedure is to operate a machine with fossil fuel power, develop a new power production device with efficiency that replaces fossil fuel by trial and error, and then reduce the use of fossil fuel. Isn't it? Getting her name out there for possible legal opportunities if it was considered? Cheap advertising at Sky “News”.

Nationals agree to support Prime Minister’s net zero by 2050 planDeputy Prime Minister and leader of the Nationals party Barnaby Joyce has confirmed they will support the Prime Minister's net zero by 2050 plan. There wasn’t any doubts! They are all budding actors putting on a show, they just want to be celebrities! Don’t you just love them! NOT! Net zero by 2050 is not acceptable without a serious concrete plan to halve emissions by 2030. Australia has no credible plan to reduce emissions quickly and at COP26 the world will point that out. auspol ClimateEmergency “Agreed to a process” not “agreed to support”. After almost 8 years and 2 Sundays the Nats have agreed to joint the LP and do nothing on climate change. Well done ScottMorrisonMP . Very much looking forward to the election and a change of government. Go AlboMP
