Morrison delivered the pledge voters wanted but not the plan they needed

One key chart in Scott Morrison’s new climate policy shows the Prime Minister is wishing and hoping Australia can get to net zero rather than making absolutely sure it does.reveals that half the work of reaching the net zero deadline in 2050 will come from things nobody can be sure about – such as an assumption about global trends outside anyone’s control.

To be precise, 15 per cent of the work in reducing emissions comes from “global technology trends” and another 15 per cent from “further technology breakthroughs” as well as up to 20 per cent from trading in carbon offsets. All of this was known for months, if not years, when Morrison prevaricated over net zero and Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce argued the target would wreck the economy.

The Nationals and Liberals are clearly nervous about a target that some of their supporters do not like. Joyce has looked glum in Parliament all week, making it obvious he is being dragged to an outcome he has resisted for years. Morrison has looked buoyant, however, because he has achieved a policy that will work for the Liberals in the marginal seats they want to win.

CroweDM Cmon we won’t have half the solutions that really work for a least 10 years, a great deal of it has to be sky!

CroweDM Carbon captured in paper pamphlets that say nothing & lead to nothing. Carbon capture in pamplets is more technically sound than other carbon capture methods proposed by the LNP & the benefactors.

CroweDM Never has a plan

CroweDM Morrison's so-called plan is nothing but a PR stunt. 'Too little too late half baked' wld be the appropriate tagline for it. How dare he take it to COP26 & present it as Australian ClimateAction plan without Parl consultation & endorsement?!😤 AustraliaDeservesBetter Auspol

CroweDM Just not up to the job of PM. Bunch of numpties.

CroweDM Advertising fluff with no meat.

CroweDM Which voters wanted that? Please tell

CroweDM Is this Scotty having one of those “Dear God” moments Like “please God have them believe my spin”.

CroweDM It’s not really a ‘plan’ when for example you rely on 15% of your work getting to the target on ‘future technology breakthroughs’ it’s a big fat ‘thoughts and prayers’ document. It’s like saying I will pay my bills when I win the lottery. Total BS from scomo!

CroweDM Failed Ad man for a reason.

CroweDM A politician's promise - worthless

CroweDM A little closer to the truth there. No real plan because they can’t do anything about something they are lying about.

CroweDM Just more BS !

CroweDM Found a copy of 'THE PLAN' just reading it now

CroweDM If he presents this to everyone at the Glasgow Conference, he will be the laughing stock & unfortunately it will reflect on us as a country. I watched him on tv giving journalists 'the scoop', he fumbled he bumbled he stumbled, speaking so quickly so he could make a hasty retreat

CroweDM just add spaghetti and serve

CroweDM We don’t want 2050!

CroweDM More announcements!

CroweDM I got a washing machine in the back if you wanna spin this a little more.

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
