Mr Benardi said the last time the “world was going to end” and governments scrambled to save Australians was the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. “The effective cause of the GFC was irresponsible home loans by US banks to the unemployed and the unemployable under the guise of 'fairness and equity'.," Mr Bernardi said. “These sub-prime mortgages were packaged up and on sold to investors.
” Mr Bernardi said then Prime Minister Kevid Rudd introduced responsible lending laws to respond to the failures of the credit system. These laws, however, gave banks the responsibility of ensuring their clients repay their borrowings, at risk of being held liable for the borrowers default. “The government has now abandoned the Rudd era responsible lending laws in a bid to inject a shot of credit adrenaline into our economy,” he said.
So should the Canberra politicians, interesting that they seem to be avoiding the idea of a federal ICAC as much as possible.

Government committed to beating 2030 emissions targets | Sky News AustraliaEnergy Minister Angus Taylor says the focus should remain on lowering emissions through technological development, rather than committing to a net zero emissions target by 2050.\n\n“If we succeed in that ... then we will see dramatic emissions reductions and they wont just be by 2040 they will be by 2050 but we’ve got to make the technologies work and the focus needs to be on actually delivering,” Mr Taylor told Sky News.\n\nThe government has revealed a list of five new and emerging technologies it is planning to invest in as part of a roadmap to bring down emissions. \n\nThrough to 2030, the government said it would invest $18 billion in a bid to unlock further investment for the private sector totaling around $50 billion, and hoped to wipe out 250 million tonnes of emissions by 2040. \n\nThe five major investments included clean hydrogen, energy storage, green steel and aluminum, carbon capture and storage, and soil carbon projects.\n\n“Our focus is on technology not taxation, it’s bringing down those 250 million tones through to 2040 and more beyond,” he said.\n\n“Doing it in a way that is going to maintain a strong economy, which is going to maintain critical industries, agriculture, transport - that’s absolutely essential to this.\n\n“Unlike the approach taken by Labor in the lead up to the last election where they were prepared to slash jobs, they were prepared to slash incomes, they were prepared to slash industries and regions - we will not do that.”\n ..and yet CO2 is not a “killer” of human kind ...it’s allowed the world to have record breaking crop yields - isn’t that great? Nuclear anyone? Solves all problems. Maybe we can get some that free energy that Nikola Tesla discovered and the deep state has been hiding from us.
