AngusTaylorMP Get a clear plan. You're our government. Do your job

AngusTaylorMP $80 million Caymans

AngusTaylorMP Angusaccident

AngusTaylorMP The hypocrisy is breathtaking.

AngusTaylorMP The more you abhorrent clowns tweet, the more we can express our disgust and anger towards your views and actions.

AngusTaylorMP Not good enough. Absolute fucking failure of a party.

AngusTaylorMP That’s the LNP way Angus don’t have any plans so you don’t have to do anything. Well done great work you useless corrupt muppet.

AngusTaylorMP Said a government spokesperson (without any idea or a plan himself)

AngusTaylorMP Like the cost of non-existent water. Fantastic Angus.

AngusTaylorMP Of course not. Let just do nothing. Dickheads.

AngusTaylorMP Which means never committing to a target. Facts and figures can be so tricky sometimes.

AngusTaylorMP Or in other words, the govt will continue doing nothing

AngusTaylorMP Wouldn't feed this Lib Minister👎😠and I'm a lib..

AngusTaylorMP Oh they have a plan, dig up more coal, oil and gas. Not good enough.

AngusTaylorMP They have no clear plans. You got it right Angus. Well when it comes to plans, they have nothing fid anything! Incompetent imbeciles auspol!

AngusTaylorMP When was this Shitgibbon let back out of his cage?

StuartRCrossman AngusTaylorMP What's the cost of their (pathetic) 2030 target? What's the plan? Great work, Angus

AngusTaylorMP The Morrison Liberal Government has been the government about nothing. No policies. No plans. No accountability. No integrity. CrimeMinisterMorrison LNP LNPCorruption ALP AusPol AusPol2020

AngusTaylorMP Well then. Get to work AngusTaylorMP

AngusTaylorMP

AngusTaylorMP But they will never ever have a plan or have to bother costing it because they don't believe in climate change. KISS!!!!!!

AngusTaylorMP In other words no plan!!!

AngusTaylorMP These guys know the cost of everything and the value of nothing. They certainly cant wrap their tiny minds around the value of a livable planet.

AngusTaylorMP Seems to work for all your other non policies.

AngusTaylorMP Yeah good , his credibility is in the toilet where it belongs

AngusTaylorMP You AngusTaylorMP is part of the team who is responsible to make plans so you can set emissions targets.

AngusTaylorMP I just another hold up process. 'wait, we need to calculate it PROPERLY, it takes time' This EXACTLY what it is. Another way to keep on using COAL. auspol

AngusTaylorMP Well, FFS do the costings and create a plan - isn't that what government's do? How long have you Muppets been in power?

AngusTaylorMP Well as they haven't one in over 6years, I assume that means they'll (LNP) will never have one just more of the Labor! Labor! Labor! Labor! Labor! Labor! Labor! no plan at all from the PM & cabinet.

AngusTaylorMP 'Emissions target'....'clear plan' suggests you know what you’re trying to achieve. You don’t. Reduced emissions is a means to an end; it is not the end itself. So WHAT IS THE OBJECTIVE?

AngusTaylorMP That's the difference between the government and labor. The government has sanity labor doesn't. Well said Angus.

AngusTaylorMP Get to it then you laggard, it's what we pay you to do ffs.

AngusTaylorMP Did they cost these grants that went to marginal electorates before the election.

AngusTaylorMP Well get a plan and cost it, then.

AngusTaylorMP AngusTaylorMP BarnabyJoyceLNP and the invisible water deal, straight to the Cayman Islands.

AngusTaylorMP The lucky Taylor family. Check out the total.

AngusTaylorMP We all know its a hoax - lets move on now!

AngusTaylorMP Cormann says they are, Taylor says they are not! What a disorganised rabble. Get out of the way!

AngusTaylorMP That means ScottMorrisonMP is selling spin again- Policy bare and talking points repeated at length as they don’t Have a policy to sell

AngusTaylorMP So why haven't they developed a plan? Bit of a no-brainer. Scientific evidence & economic rationale has been clear for quite some time. The Coalition's horse is lame, not cantering. ClimateActNow JustTransition EmissionsReductions

AngusTaylorMP The only plan you have Mr Taylor is how to feather your nest further and assist your wife into the job of Mayirvif Sydney, then both can become rorters!

AngusTaylorMP Get a bloody plan then ffs!

AngusTaylorMP Fraud by trick or device.

AngusTaylorMP They can't get forward estimates close over 3 years, but he wants something fully costed over 30? They'd be meaningless numbers.

AngusTaylorMP Coming from the side of politics that NEVER has a clear plan ....

AngusTaylorMP That says a lot about Taylor. We’ve just literally burnt as a result of global warming....and he still backs coal. He must reckon he is safe from bushfires in the Cayman Islands.

AngusTaylorMP This government couldn't plan to make a ham sandwich. worstgovernmentever

AngusTaylorMP Well why in the hell then are are we paying you then if you as Minister for Emissions and Reductions. Is it not your job to plan for this

AngusTaylorMP Is that the same sort of plan they used for their rorts?

AngusTaylorMP This is political speak for 'the government doesn't have a plan'.

AngusTaylorMP Mmmm how long have you been power? Thought you all would have had a plan by now! But then I thought No you are all a great big bunch of gunnas! Yep, not gunna do much at all! Maybe just keep blaming Labor!

AngusTaylorMP Fine. Please reveal plan & costing. Citizens are waiting.

AngusTaylorMP Clear plan.......does he mean transparency 😃

AngusTaylorMP That’s convenient 🤦🏼‍♂️

AngusTaylorMP this mob never have a plan , they're clueless and witless..the only skill taylor has is lining his family's pockets

AngusTaylorMP Sir the prognosis is cancer. You might only have months to live. “I don’t want to commit to a recovery program without costings”

AngusTaylorMP Are they costing a “do nothing” approach to climate change? Seems this summer was a bit expensive.

nyunggai AngusTaylorMP Just like the moon landing.

AngusTaylorMP yes just let everything go up in smoke and insurance companies will have fun sorting it all out ?...premiums through the roof because this lot has done sweet FA for the last 7 years.....but oh we need costings ?...how much was the cost of all those fires ?

AngusTaylorMP As watergate and 1/2 billion dollar upgrade of the war museum show, it doesn’t matter what those coatings ARE, they just have to have them

AngusTaylorMP Target how much they make out of it, and plan to get it to the Caymans?

nyunggai AngusTaylorMP Albo doesnt have a plan its just Virtue Signalling Bullshit. Have learnt nothing since the Election.

AngusTaylorMP Why not

AngusTaylorMP This LNP govt’s members cannot agree amongst themselves as to whether Climate Change is real or not. Not setting a target without so-called costings, is just a smokescreen. Folks these guys have been in govt for 7 yrs....they are incapable of a plan. Esp with Anus Taylor.

AngusTaylorMP The government is nit going to commit to a target at all.

AngusTaylorMP Next step would be to sit down with team of environmental experts and nut out a plan & then sit down with team of financial experts and cost it. Liberal approach is “too hard, can’t cost it, can’t be done, stick with coal”. Clearly they aren’t up for the job. Why vote Liberal?

AngusTaylorMP Well get on with

AngusTaylorMP Greens took a costed plan, backed by our own scientists research to the last election. Around cost of 5 submarines = 100% renewables.

AngusTaylorMP Maybe get Barnaby_Joyce to text you a plan?

AngusTaylorMP are FakeNews and the EnemyOfThePeople and continue to help this deeply corrupt government spread weponised ignorance. AngusTaylorMP is a deeply corrupt politician who has continually betrayed the trust of the Australian people.

AngusTaylorMP So what the bloody hell have you lot been doing since September 2013?

AngusTaylorMP Energy Minister AngusTaylorMP says the government is not going to “commit to a target without costings and without a clear plan'. “Because we need to understand how much we can skim off the top line for our mates’ Please use the whole quote.

AngusTaylorMP Well if you guys won't commit to a clear plan, get out of the way and let the state's and territories do it instead.

AngusTaylorMP Doing nothing is also a strategy and therefore and needs to be costed

AngusTaylorMP Look at the History of NO plans No Policies .... It's cost LIVES - LNP Cut Funds Cut Resources Cut Communications Off - Refused to be Accountable Still Not Governing! Lie Deceive Delay Deluded LNP

AngusTaylorMP Dear AngusTaylorMP Isn't this what WE the Australian people PAY you & the Govt FOR - coming up with a PLAN & COSTINGS for a sustainable future for OUR children & YOUR children? If you don't WANT to DO your JOB - resign - so your constituents can elect someone who DOES auspol

AngusTaylorMP Oh, i thought they had a plan? Obviously not...it was just lies and spin LNPfail

AngusTaylorMP You can’t just give a fucking price. Stop protecting the coal industry and look to the future.

AngusTaylorMP If only there was some sort of government with access to a skilled bureaucracy who could formulate a plan with costings and modelling... Hmm oh wait, you’ve been in government since 2013...

AngusTaylorMP Well. Get your numbskulls into gear!

colinelvy11 AngusTaylorMP They've only had 7 years ffs

AngusTaylorMP And yet demand it from Labor, high farce

AngusTaylorMP So never.

colinelvy11 AngusTaylorMP How about the Govt come up with the plan and costings?

AngusTaylorMP They’ve been there for nearly 7 years and they still don’t have a plan? What the hell have this bunch of tosses been doing?

AngusTaylorMP Just wondering what it's cost govt since bushfires started August! Bush fires, drought, floods. It will get worse.

LyndaFrench19 AngusTaylorMP They commit to SFA then. What were the costings and plan for (name your project) ?

AngusTaylorMP Oh I don’t know, you lot are pretty good at coming up with bullshit. You should just pull a figure out of the air, run with it and when it all turns to crap, just say you have no idea where it came from and blame someone else. Not as though you haven’t done it before

AngusTaylorMP One man among sissies and losers!

AngusTaylorMP Angus wouldn't know if his ass was on fire...

AngusTaylorMP Fulfilling your objective by not even coming up with a plan. Doesn’t get easier than this.

AngusTaylorMP Photoshop it?

AngusTaylorMP Zero emissions by 2050 with no serious negative economic consequences.... for what globally?

AngusTaylorMP Angus Taylor is CORRUPT. He is a DISGRACE.

AngusTaylorMP They've had 7 years to come up with one.

AngusTaylorMP

AngusTaylorMP you Have no plans and are using an accounting trick to lie about Australia’s mitigation of climate change. the sooner you move out of the way the better.

AngusTaylorMP He could always alter someone else’s costings and claim them as his own. Not like he hasn’t done it before!

AngusTaylorMP You’ve had 7yrs to come up with something 🤷🏻‍♂️ Just lie, like normal 🤷🏻‍♂️

AngusTaylorMP Other countries have a clear plan, but without intelligence & science we are lost with LNP always dreaming of a past that never was!

AngusTaylorMP ScoMo claims we can reduce carbon emissions but with the attitude given by Angus Taylor. Yeah, it truly shows the LNP is in a horrible shitshow. No cooperation whatsoever

AngusTaylorMP Dear LNP propaganda arm, are you please able to ask Angus how much his inaction will cost the economy and the country once he has retired to the Virgin Islands?

AngusTaylorMP Except Angus's and the LNP's figures indicate a 51% reduction by 2030. Not because of their policies, but because of the policies of the states. The Gov isn't doing anything, so the states are. Go sell your mates some non existent water Anus.

AngusTaylorMP What is the cost so far by doing nothing? Don't know how you quantify life but the loss of income, productivity, buildings, bushland, and animal and birdllife plus restoration of mental health are a few things to consider.

AngusTaylorMP I do not agree with any of this climate change BS targets. AngusTaylorMP We voted you lot into power on an agenda that was not this climate change BS. Please get on with building some more coal fired power stations while planning for nuclear power. We want cheaper power now.

AngusTaylorMP More droughts, floods, cyclones and bushfires. That's what that means.

AngusTaylorMP So they will get someone to “do” a report on the plan and costings and then never disclose said report but tell us a bunch of bullshit about what was “in” the report and thus Nothing will happen hypocrites

AngusTaylorMP Since Christmas 2019 Angus has spent at least $4.4 Billion on nothing. Why at least? because insurance companies are still counting. Well done Angus! Economic impact of Australia's bush fires to exceed $4.4bn cost of Black Sat. auspol AuspolSoCorrupt

AngusTaylorMP How dare you, Michael Mann. My understanding is that fraud can include the presentation of something that is not true with the intention of personal gain.

AngusTaylorMP It’s not going to commit to anything that will anger its donors or place any MPs job at risk

AngusTaylorMP What are Angus' costings? Has he done any? He doesn't know what a plan is!

AngusTaylorMP Will he forge that document too?

AngusTaylorMP The only targets you should commit to are full employment and controlled inflation. Beyond that, let the market do its work.

AngusTaylorMP Does the LNP have a plan for anything of benefit to this country?

AngusTaylorMP AngusTaylorMP is telling us the truth... 😱😱 The LNP government will: 1. NOT commit to a target, 2. Provide NO costings, and 3. NOT have a clear plan. Thanks buddy. auspol AngusGate GrassGate WaterGate LNPfail LNPcorruption ClimateActionNow

AngusTaylorMP Get out of the dam agreement, ask yourself Who is getting those Funds and what are they pushing for AngusTaylorMP

AngusTaylorMP Just doctor a few documents to create some costings and a plan Angus.

notabluesfan AngusTaylorMP Keep this up AngusTaylorMP you may get me back as a Party member.

AngusTaylorMP Does AngusTaylorMP have shares in this plan? Is that the only way to get it happening?

AngusTaylorMP This government is not committing to anything at all. That's what happens when you do not have a clue about anything. auspol

AngusTaylorMP That’s right the LNP is in opposition...

AngusTaylorMP Just make one up mate 👍👍

AngusTaylorMP Family comes first

AngusTaylorMP Your criminal moves will be uncovered and you will join Eddie Obeid in jail.

AngusTaylorMP Fair call. Don’t let the cheap talkers set the bar.... they don’t have any money to pay for anything anyway.

AngusTaylorMP AngusTaylorMP can't even remember who did stuff in his own office, let alone the country LNPfail

AngusTaylorMP You've been in office 10 years.

AngusTaylorMP They've done fuck all for 6 yrs except make themselves rich and us poorer. Why would anyone expect any activity now?

AngusTaylorMP WTF this crooked Politician still around?

AngusTaylorMP Good as there is no need climatehoax they've been babbling for years ...ozone layer...global warming...climate change...they make it up as they go it's just an unended tax...you know buying fresh air 🤨what a crock...😆🤣 we are not stupid Greedy Globalists corruption

AngusTaylorMP You can commit to an objective. But agree we need a good plan on how to deliver the objective.

AngusTaylorMP What an Excuse. Why doesn’t he tell the Truth that THEY DONT WANT TO DO IT!

briez63 AngusTaylorMP Thank goodness that someone like Angus Taylor is in Federal Parliament . He is so right about targets . Reaching for pie in the sky with no idea of how much it will cost is a recipe for disaster

AngusTaylorMP

political_alert AngusTaylorMP Government has no plans. The government doesn’t even have a plan for next week . The government runs on reaction. ScottyFromMarketting

AngusTaylorMP He isn't saying the same thing as Cormann... “will be finalising a longer-term target in time for Cop26” ....in the video he didn't explain why Cormann used the word 'target'. The Coalition is ruptured to the core on this one, very obvious. Angus is such a bumbling clutz 🤣

AngusTaylorMP Here some charts, the 40 year reduction in rainfall your governments file, BOM Data the last 110 years on Australian temperatures with hottest last 10 years, the current Australian temperatures how hot do you want a be?

AngusTaylorMP AngusTaylorMP The cost of doing nothing on climate is far higher than a plan to phase out the polluting coal mines. We have too much CO2 now, and by 2050 the temperature will be too hot for anyone. These are the greenhouse gases.

AngusTaylorMP Sky News is owned by the Murdoch press.

AngusTaylorMP Angus Taylor is puppet of the Mineral Council of Australia and it shows.

AngusTaylorMP He did not answer any questions and has no plan. '...Mathias Cormann confirmed the government “will be finalising a longer-term target in time for Cop26” but the emissions reduction minister would commit only to “a long-term strategy”

AngusTaylorMP Mr Caymans should already be in gaol

AngusTaylorMP Crooked

AngusTaylorMP Just forge the costings

AngusTaylorMP Start with $80m to a Caymans bank account and go from there...

AngusTaylorMP What if a wind farm needed a new soccer pitch - could they get some funding then?!

AngusTaylorMP If the Business Community is backing this, if majority of Aussies are backing more Action WHO IS ANGUS WORKING FOR?

AngusTaylorMP Great to hear some economic sense. Unlike labor’s total fairytale

AngusTaylorMP EMPLOYMENT. INDUSTRY . BORDER PROTECTION. FAMILY LAW REFORM. COAL FIRED POWER . WAGE RISE FOR UNSKILLED WORKERS. HEALTH CARE. HOMELESS. ALL THE ABOVE BEFORE CLIMATE ACTION.

AngusTaylorMP $22.50 and a couple of days reading, that'll do it - Angus can read?

AngusTaylorMP How many clear plans do you need?

AngusTaylorMP THERE IS NO COST!!!!! It's an INVESTMENT in our future.

AngusTaylorMP We won't hold our breath as the LNP don't know what the word PLAN means!

AngusTaylorMP The Liberal party has clear plans and targets for some things, just not for the environment. The Morrison Government has provided $4 million towards a feasibility study into the power station....

AngusTaylorMP They've had 2 decades to come up with a plan and all they've done is stone wall. We had a plan 10 years ago that they sabotaged.

AngusTaylorMP TheLNP has had SEVEN years to develop ClimateChange policies and costings. auspol

AngusTaylorMP Whatever the cost to get to zero emissions by 2050 it will be far cheaper than any other poor alternative. We should be asking how much it will cost if we do nothing like the current government plans.🤔

AngusTaylorMP Yet our old mate Angus is happy to commit to emissions rising policies....where did the report come from that you used to discredit the NSW mayor because your wife is going to run for that position? That sounds illegal Angus? How did your family get so lucky? Over $90m 😱😱

AngusTaylorMP You mean you need time to work out how to get your hand into the cookie jar. auspol

AngusTaylorMP

AngusTaylorMP Taylor SHOULD BE IN JAIL WHAT A DISGRACEFUL DISHONEST MORRISON GOVERNMENT MINISTER JUST SHOWS HOW WEAK MORRISON IS.

AngusTaylorMP Lnp zero plan

AngusTaylorMP But that’s YOUR job. JFC

AngusTaylorMP And without solid accurate figures.

AngusTaylorMP You mean the costings they should have come up with decades ago?

AngusTaylorMP I thought I heard you say you were great managers of the economy. Six years of your management and you don't have any plans, costings or targets? Get started. It's your job.

AngusTaylorMP Why ? The Coalition seems to do everything without costings & a clear plan . Everything the Coalition touches turns to shit ! I defy anyone to name just ONE piece of legislation introduced since 2013 that has benefitted everyday Aussies, just one. auspol

AngusTaylorMP Been in government since 2013. Still no plan. Pathetic!!!

AngusTaylorMP But but we want to feel warm and fuzzy !! 😎

AngusTaylorMP So says a government without a clear plan.

AngusTaylorMP Well Angus, you are in the Government and I am sure your Department is costing options for zero emissions (eg 2030, 2050 etc). Let us know the cost of these options, and the benefits.

AngusTaylorMP Sensible approach. Everyone else on here has given into the looney mantra- 'I want you to panic!'

AngusTaylorMP Hey AngusTaylorMP - you are the government, come up with a plan!

AngusTaylorMP What is the cost of doing nothing? A worsening climate and devastated landscape, and a huge financial and economic cost. Every year they delay, the costs of action will increase.

AngusTaylorMP You were told the fucken plan in May last year. Stop governing for people who’ll NEVER EVER vote for you and start working for the people THAT DID or they may not at the next election. ScottMorrisonMP
