Senator Canavan was explicitly asked whether that ugliness could stretch to tearing up the Coalition agreement between the Liberals and the Nationals.
"And if there comes a point where it's not beneficial for both — well, I've never had any compunction about saying, well, we go our own way." Assistant Minister for Emissions Reduction Tim Wilson told the ABC's Q+A program regional communities with a reliance on traditional carbon-intensive industries will need to adjust as part of the net zero pitch.
Another tragicomedy brought to you by Rupert productions and the LNP.
Bwonwen Why is everything this government does 'confidential' and kept secret? They are supposed to represent us and work for us, yet keep everything hidden from us. Everything Scott Morrison does is done in the interest of Scott Morrison, he doesn't give a shit about us. auspol
A new challenge for the taxpayers and voters of Australia NatZero2022 ... Nationals out of Parliament at the next Federal election. Regional communities deserve genuine local representation from local independents.
How exactly is it NOT our right to know?
The hostage will never know the secret extortion levied against their release.
Reckon they would have made more sense if they asked Bob Katter to draft them.
Transparent government.
Call it what it is Corruption and Extortion
WTF?
PK “...That vile constituency, the National Party, did nothing else but get its hands on the public purse...'
More secrecy from an incompetent climate change denier government. The coalition is governing as dictators do, not as elected representatives of what Australians want.
Everything is confidential these days! No transparency!
That’s what we like to see Secret deals and bribes and pork barrelling, all at taxpayers expense Paying for legal fees demands a ROI and we don’t want the public asking awkward questions auspol AustraliaHasFallen
Confidential? You mean they won’t even tell the Liberals? Barnaby means business.
OMG the LNP are beyond the pale😄
LNPCrimeFamily FederalICAC LNPCLimateVandals and the list goes on & on. Their born to rule attitude is horrendous. They have no respect for us and no respect for our Parliament or Democracy. A secret Government is a dangerous one. VoteThemOut Australia we are being used up!
Of course. Completely consistent and true to form for thos government. Net Zero transparency.
Another secret sweet deal !
It’s OUR money!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
No. This is NOT acceptable. It’s yet another secret deal! If this were a good deal for Australia they would trumpet it from every TV station and spread it over every newspaper. Secret deals are dodgy and often corrupt. auspol
Bunch of RWNJs who don’t even represent the bush holding the country to ransom
So basically what we are talking about here is a warehouse, overflowing with pigs in barrels..
It's a public debate ffs
How do we know it's final if it's confidential? Mean we can't see if anything changes. That seems barse-ackwards.
VotePorterOut
Oh dear 🤦🏼♀️ … of course it will. Go get ‘em Senator_Patrick … what a joke this mob are. All that theatrics for what? A big effing nothing. VoteThemAllOut
Their demands will be for now. Net zero will be for later. This is called a con.
Allowing Scott to trumpet to the world that we have a target whilst hiding all the shitfuckery designed to hold onto the Nats seats. Just. Dandy.
LiarsNPerps LNPCrimeFamily
Rightly so. Why are farmers and country people always having to carry the can for the big cities? You want zero emissions, you pay for them, stop slugging us for every little thing all the time, sitting there sucking the money tit all your sorry lives.
Do the nationals want it confidential because they're afraid of losing voters?
In other words it’s not worth the paper it’s written on. This is going to be embarrassing.
Call an election so we can vote these criminals out.
Zero transparency with this government! AuspolSoCorrupt
LNP ashamed of the deal?
Yay democracy!
What do you think is in the Nationals list of demands to support slowmo's netzero by 2050 pledge at COP26? auspol ClimateEmergency
The Minority Party calls the shots in a Democracy that will effect all Australians.
Can someone tell me how it is that we find ourselves in the position of the nationals or as I like to call them corrupt idiots that are soooooo out of touch how is it that they are holding the country hostage on this? One of the most important issues our country has to deal with.
Hmmm these clowns seem to forget they using OUR money. Unbelievable.
Nothing like transparency in govt
🤔 Another words hundred of Billions of $$$💵 💵 Ching! Ching! 🤦♂️ So we'll be now heading for 2+ Trillion $ Debt to keep 5% happy. Nothing to see here. All Tickety Boo then. 🤔New swimming pools for Nationals full of Cash 💵
Let me guess, turd immunity (no brown stuff will stick) and immunity from ICAC and prosecution! Well done, very clever operators!
FederalICACNow this is. It good enough. More pork barrelling for fossil fuels
I guess there’s no need to pretend that Australia is a democracy then! Porter’s donors are secret! Now Nationals demands a secret! Secret from whom? The people who are paying the politicians’ salary!
National’s demands?
Did Barnaby txt it?
2 people who can’t be trusted.
Didn't the LNP always rail against the ALP 'faceless men' making secret backroom deals? But then the LNP have always been massive, born-to-rule hypocrites.
Elected officials who do business and dealings in secrecy. They keep forgetting who they are supposed to serve, other than themselves.
Honestly, do you think Joyce will keep his mouth shut about the “ secret deal” with Morrison ? It’s not within his genetic makeup. What is in his genetic makeup is to crow and boast how he has bested Morrison and pat himself on his back for his perceived achievements to his NP.
😡😡😡😡
Why is this allowed? Surely any sane person would look at this and go 'that rule needs to change'?
Dear Australia... I hope you enjoy our open, and transparent, Federal Government the one where a MINORITY party dictate terms to the majority, and skim funds. Of course this is ALL SECRET, we cannot be told! What democracy.
Because it's BS How dare a governing party hide their policies from we the People? Vote out the right wing
Am I alone in thinking that zero transparency on certain policies runs counter to how a properly functioning democracy should work?
shakedown
That would be right. No doubt completely outrageous
This whole blind trust thing has gone way too far
How can a deal that could damage the whole world, kill people, be 'confidential'? Are people reduced to cents in their quest for $?
What’s confidential about Barnaby’s lunch order?
Secretive governments are never a good thing
I wonder how many Rorts are involved!
Nor good enough
Why is everything to do with the lnp secret? Where's the democracy?
Of course. The secret society.
The system is broken. The Nationals 642 233 votes 🗳 4.51% and get to hold NSW and the country to ransom corruption COALitionDeniers auspol
And the media continue to go along for the ride.
Confidential?
Lack of transparency is now the new normal. It comes from entitlement and a lack of independent scrutiny.
Why could TheNats not agree to it for the common good, because it's what the country needs? We are governed by crooks, extortionists and standover men! None of the ransom they demand will benefit regions. It will be trousered by fossilfuel companies.
Like the Coalition agreement, coverup of Blind Trust, Rorts - everything ScottMorrisonMP touches is a “secret” yet he wants to bring the nation along -and we don’t know whereto or how FailedPM Gaslighting COP26Glasgow
Confidential? Sounds highly inappropriate for ruling a nation. The world is watching our dodgy dealings.
Our blind trust in the Nationals
Lets see. 🤔Exempt cow flatulence and promote batteries in the form of battery hens.
Public resources demands must be public!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A bottle of Bundy and a side of beef?
Corrupt
How can our elected representatives simply keep secrets from voters? What happened to transparency and responsibility in Australia?
Why? I don't get it ...
Secret protocols were largely responsible for the start of WW2. Just sayin'.
Of course they will
This is not democracy
I’m guessing the demands are so embarrassingly selfish and short sighted that it’s better not to let the general voting public know what muppets they have in power !!
Naturally the most corrupt government ever
Secrecy won’t work in any relationship, and won’t definitely work between the Coalition and the Australian people! Divorce Now People!
More secrets
How can this be allowed? Infuriating
Must be The Hawkings Radiation Melting the Thought Processing in their Ilogical Reasoning Void for Brains .
How many billions of our money and it's secret over it vote the lot out
I like my blank cooked blank and I’ll have a side of blank followed by blank.
Transparency, eat your heart out!! 😒😒😒
If the government raise tax to fund this, it would be their carbon tax. If they raise debt to fund this, it would be their carbon debt.
This will be the biggest extortion since the federation by the most shameless party since the federation.
Exactly like his drought report. Exactly like the Lambie deal. Billions of dollars probably on the taxpayers dime and they just fucking ignore us. There needs to be a protest outside every LNP office.
More corruption. FederalICAC now ScottyDoesNothing
MSMWatchdog2013 We are paying for this dodgy deal. Why just why?
MSMWatchdog2013 Surely, we the public, are entitled to know, how our tax $$ are being spent!
Everything this government does is confidential. No transparency, no accountability. How can you vote for a government that is up to its neck in BS and secrecy. Albo4PM
It’s common knowledge now that this tiny party rules Australia. If you vote for the coalition you get Barnaby
Confidential? Are they mad? They do know they are not a minor party in an absolutist regime, don’t they?!? That the voters have THE RIGHT to know what is being represented in the nation’s name?!? That the Nats voters have the right to know how their reps are leaning?!?
The Earth weeps.
This Current government is too hush hush & secretive towards the public that pay their wages. & dodgy. How can a government that patronises so much its citizens remain in government ? Our Current government doesn’t deserve our loyalty auspol national FederalICACNow
Does it include giving Porter another million and Barnaby and Scotty buying a time share in Hawaii😎
The secrets out. They’ve nothing. Expect Scotty not to make Glasgow for a unusual unpredictable weather condition.
Love open government.
How much is their ransom demand costing every single Australian? Stats please.
The Nationals are extorting taxpayers for political advantage. Holding us to ransom over a safe climate future.
That’s the greatest excuse both Morrison and Joyce have given voters for the next election to vote the LNP and their right wing independent nutters like Pauline Hanson and Craig Kelly out completely. Wipe them out people. It’s the best chance we’ve got to get rid them.
The Nationals blood money is actually Australian taxpayer money and we have a right to know what OUR money is being spent on
Too embarrassing
On coal matters
'It's obviously going to be confidential, as it should be, between two parties of government.' Who is paying for this? Australian taxpayers!! Democracy has left Parliament House.
If the deal involves the spending of taxpayer dollars, the public have a right to know about it.
The Australian public needs to vote now.
Why does the media keep legitimising this criminal organisation posing as our government? Cut to the chase. Call this pantomime of democracy what it is.
mattjcan. Talk about unrepresentative swill. Holding back the future prosperity of the regions by backing Dickenzian-era energy sources which every country on earth is rapidly moving away from. History books will condemn his glib and shortsighted contribution to this country
Oh look a Net Zero outcome!! What a surprise!! My faith in this Government protecting us from harm by not telling us how they’re protecting us from harm quite simply,……...abounds !!! Then again,….I’ve always admired the Ostrich
Like everything else with this government. We aren't allowed to know what's really going on. They have so much contempt for Australians.
Confidential my arse you bastards work for us everything you do should be up front and open no bloody secrets and no bloody lies!!!
Of course they will
Not another secret deal?!!! Bluddy hell….AlboForPM
These articles are consistently presented on the false premise that the “cost” of the deal is “the Federal Government’s”. Stop blindly quoting politicians pretending that it’s their money they are playing with. It’s ours. And so we should know what they’re doing with every cent.
How about taking action will stop your farms self incinerating
THE perfect example of malfunctioning democracy. A splinter group holding 4% of the primary vote holding the whole country to ransom. VOTE THESE NATIONALS DINOSAURS OUT. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. OF. THEM.
Which other democracy has secret agreements demanded by a tiny regressive unrepresentative minority which polls less than the donkey vote ?
The Morrison government would make the mafia blush.
Secrecy. The default Morrison impulse.
Everything this government does is secretive. Next we’ll hear that Morrison has appointed himself PM for life? We. Are. No. Longer. A. Democracy. auspol
They demand to know who paid Porter’s millions & where they can get some too
More sh*tf*ckery from Morrison and Joyce.
Another push for secrecy by a government that always has something to hide AuspolSoCorrupt
Just like Porters donation?
Why should it be confidential? It should be in the open so we know what the hell we are going to be voting for
Lemme guess, privatise everything, sell off everyone's land to mining industries, and crown Murdoch as Emperor of Australia? Failing that, ScoMo has to lick Barnaby's feet every day? I'd expect nothing less than either option from that scum.
They forget who their working for💯
