The architect of the ingenious mechanism at the heart of Labor's plan to sharply cut carbon emissions is about to leave the parliament.
Greg Hun was, for a time, Tony Abbott's environment minister, charged with destroying Labor's carbon tax.
Umm, what? “There we’re all sorts of problems with [the carbon tax]”
Parliament can disallow the baseline, so excuse doing nothing. If the company “can’t cope”, they do nothing. When the company makes more and per unit emissions don’t go up, total emissions go up. I would say there are loopholes, but it you would need more substance than hole.
You are playing fast and loose with the word plan? So far all AustralianLabor has is a target with nothing to hit it with.
8 years in Govt to write a plan, well, I’ll be.

Voters believe Labor will win federal election, Newspoll revealsThe latest Newspoll reveals Australian voters think Prime Minister Scott Morrison and the Coalition are the underdogs ahead of next year's federal election. We witnessed a realistic gauge of Morrison's popularity when he thought it a good idea, at taxpayer expense to fly to Bathurst & hijack an iconic Aussie event. He was loudly & widely boo'ed by the Bathurst crowd. Again the boofhead failed to read the room. I don't think, I know. So they should be. Proven liars and incompetents at best, corrupt at worst, they can’t be trusted to take responsibility for the last term. Why would you trust them for the next? Well when you lie constantly can’t organise vaccines and are generally hopeless you become the underdog out of pure fucking incompetence

Labor rules out boosting 2030 climate target if electedLabor’s climate change and energy spokesperson Chris Bowen has rejected claims from Prime Minister Scott Morrison its 2030 emissions target amounts to an “opening bid” in negotiations with the Greens: I would be OK with that. Rejecting the science. Well, they’re looking after their donors, instead of representing the people. Disappointing. One wonders what the fuss is from the Libs and supporters when it comes to the possibility that negotiations with other parties by Labor might be needed to secure govt after all they have been in a minority situation propped up by an at times radical National party for decades.
