Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack says it is easy for the Liberal MP Trent Zimmerman to go for a “frolic” and argue for a net zero emissions target by 2050 because, “he’s the member for North Sydney [and] I’m not the member for North Sydney”. Mr McCormack said such a target is “not on the agenda,” but the policies the Coalition took to the 2019 election will be met with a reliance on “technology not taxation”.
There has been a gradual build up of pressure on the deputy prime minister over the Bridget McKenzie sports rorts scandal, claims that he does not stand up to the prime minister, and divisions over climate change policy, but he said “as Nationals we are as one with” climate policy. "[Prime Minister] Scott [Morrison] and I agree with just about everything," he said.

M_McCormackMP Classy!
SharriMarkson M_McCormackMP There are only 3 things you need to know about Climate Change. 1. Climate changes naturally. 2. Total human & natural CO2 in the atmosphere equates to 0.04%. Australia accounts for 1% of that 0.04%. Its a con, with a Socialist political agenda behind it. That is all. 😎

M_McCormackMP Well answered. Mr McCormack's confidence is growing, MSM reports his leadership is in trouble seem fake. Unless we are told who is making these claims, the reports do not mean much. In saying that when we are told who is making the claims they still might not mean much.

'I will lead Nats to the next election': McCormack dismisses leadership speculation'I will lead Nats to the next election': Nationals leader Michael McCormack has dismissed reports that he is preparing to step aside, saying while he is 'not perfect' he will remain in the position for this parliamentary term | Dana_Adele Dana_Adele Has Barnaby given him that guarantee? Dana_Adele In Aus politics a statement like this normally indicates about 2 weeks to being replaced. Dana_Adele I far prefer Michael McComack. Not impressed by Barnaby's actions. We want someone to lead and represent the people, not play party politics and carry on like a twat in order to get what he personally wants!

His pronouncements mean what exactly? So is the patriotism toward our Flag,No Service including the Fire Brigades or Police have it on their vehicles! USA🇺🇸,this maybe because they are advertising our Constituional Values & Magna Cartas,not one child educated in Australia or most adults know what I am talking about! but no one asked roawn to talk about it?
