Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull has lashed his former colleagues over climate policy, describing their comments to a net zero emissions target as "false and misleading".
At a meeting of energy executives on Tuesday, Mr Turnbull warned of a "catastrophic" future if Australia did not move towards a carbon neutral emissions target by 2050. The policy, which has now been adopted by Labor, has been heavily criticised by Nationals MPs who argued it would put the country's agriculture industry at risk. Image: News Corp Australia
TurnbullMalcolm Can this fool please go and find the rock he crawled from with under,then crawl back under it,to be never seen or heard from ever again.
TurnbullMalcolm This dingo has more hide than Jesssie. rabidgreenlunaticleftcircus
TurnbullMalcolm Totally ignorant of the facts. Earth has been cooling sinc 1998. If the sequence of the CO2 concentration continued from 280ppm to 150ppm we would all be extinct. That’s a fact. Climate change because of anthropogenic CO2 is an infantile, unproven hypothesis.
TurnbullMalcolm Oh for christs sake Malcolm will you just pissoff!!!
TurnbullMalcolm He’s the biggest phoney in the history of Australian politics.
TurnbullMalcolm As if anyone actually listens to the misery guts.
TurnbullMalcolm I just wish he’d go quietly. You had your chance Turnbull and you failed miserably!
TurnbullMalcolm Skynews, the majority don't care about malcontent, Turnbull, so stop reported what he does or says. It is totally irrelevant to this country & its people.

TurnbullMalcolm Turnbull could have done some positive action on climatechange with emission trading scheme but got sabotaged by the climatedenier back benchers.
TurnbullMalcolm Turnbull knows better than anyone that these clowns are hopeless. He had an agreement in principle from all the stakeholders on the NEG. Australia finally would've had an energy policy after 6 yrs, but they sacked him so that Scott Morrison could put that clown Taylor in charge
TurnbullMalcolm Who?
TurnbullMalcolm Vested interests? How are they mitigated in political discourse?
TurnbullMalcolm Does he really believe he is the purveyor of all intelligence or doesn't he use what he has between the ears. A recent British study has calculated the cost of 'net-zero' for Britain at 3 trillion pounds.
TurnbullMalcolm Has Malcolm got the” Delusional look at me virus”.
TurnbullMalcolm the ghost
TurnbullMalcolm
TurnbullMalcolm How much coin does Malcolm have on the table that he's wanting to profit from?
TurnbullMalcolm considering CO2 is not a pollutant, we die without it, it's required for photosynthesis, it's been much higher many times in the past, it cycles in amount, & if anything we need more, it's time these people stopped pushing the scams!

TurnbullMalcolm It's a crying shame that Malcolm and KRudd have lowered themselves and the office of PM by such petty pathetic behaviour since leaving office. Says a lot about them both. Of 6 past PMs living, 4 show grace and style, whilst these 2 embarass our country and themselves.

TurnbullMalcolm I thought everyone was on board now with zero net emissions by 2050. ScottyfromMarketing f*cked up. 🤣
TurnbullMalcolm What else would one expect from a globalist, zionist elite ladder climber. Turdballs a banker & he dabbles in the Big Pharma industry. A treasonist traitor to Australian public. Would expect him to try lead us down the garden path.
TurnbullMalcolm will it ever end, political disappointment
TurnbullMalcolm Not only is Turnbull false and misleading he’s a hypocrite and a profiteer.

Labor have 'not just doubled down' on its climate policy | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray says the “definition of insanity in Australian politics” is Labor continuously offering up Shadow Climate Change Minister Mark Butler as the architect of its climate policy.\n\nMr Butler orchestrated Labor’s energy and climate policy in the 2013, 2016, and 2019 elections and “remains the climate change spokesperson for Labor” for the 2022 election.\n\nLabor have “not just doubled down, they have doubled all of their commitments,” Mr Murray said.\n\nMr Murray said policies like Labor’s zero-net emissions target by 2050 are “always about the cost”.\n\n“It’s always about the human cost and the financial cost”.\n\nLabor think “Australia has changed because of the bushfires,” but a recent Newspoll published by the Australian shows 50 per cent of Australians were not prepared to pay more for drastic action on climate change.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia Umpsk The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results. AKA LABOR! Ref: Albert Einstein is widely credited with this saying. Labor policy planning & can only come up with climate change AGAIN. They have nothing to offer the country

Waleed Aly 'wants Australia to learn from Germany on climate change': Kenny | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says Channel Ten's The Project,” is “unashamedly woke, pitching its program and what it calls news at the young, and presumably, the ill-informed'. \n\nMr Kenny referenced a recent report by Waleed Aly where the host presented Germany “as an exemplar on climate change action and sensible, efficient energy policies”. \n\nIn comparison, Australia was contrasted as a country that isn’t “doing anything” on the issue of climate change. \n\n“The Project claimed Germany is showing Australia the way in the here and now,” he said. \n\nMr Kenny referenced recently released reports that “shows German electricity prices are the highest of the major world economies at 34c a kilowatt hour”. \n\nHe argued this is 41 per cent higher than Australia at 24 cents per kilowatt hour and 126 per cent higher than the United States. \n\n“Waleed Aly and The Project say we should be emulating the wonderful climate action success story of Germany'. \n\n“Is that what The Project is arguing for, or do they really think they can just pump out fake news and no one will ever check out the actual facts?' Mr Kenny said. \n\nImage: Getty \n Chris Kenny saying someone is uninformed. Rupert come on old man. That's so funny 😂. Why then, does kenny get 10% of their ratings and his market share is dwindling? As opposed to Sky viewers, who are asleep at the wheel because they are so seriously ill-informed by your ClimateCrisis disinformation network...

No 'climate clause' in future UK, EU trade deals: govt | Sky News AustraliaTrade Minister Simon Birmingham has dismissed speculation that trade deals with the EU and the UK could be jeopardised by the Coalition’s emission reduction target.\n\nThe Johnson government in the UK committed to a net zero emission target by 2050, however the Coalition refused to say whether it would match that pledge when Federal Energy Minister Angus Taylor fronts the next major UN climate summit in Glasgow this November.\n\nMr Birmingham told Sky News “no such requests” have been made for a climate clause to be inserted in any future free trade deal.\n\n“We would be more than willing as always to reinforce our commitment, time and time again, to the implementation of the Paris agreement, to the efforts we are doing as a country to lead in renewable energy.\n\n“I’m confident that if we’re going to have discussions at any stage about energy transformation, about climate change matters, that Australia has a positive story to tell. “\n\nThe government has been keen to tie up a free trade agreement with both the EU and the UK following Brexit, as Australia looks to diversify trade beyond China. \n\nWhen asked whether he believed the government should follow the UK’s lead and adopt a net zero emission reduction target by 2050, the trade minister said he didn’t want to see a target adopted without a plan. \n\n“It’s a statement of fact that the Paris agreement, that Australia is a party to, that it has an ambition to see net zero achieved in the second half of this century. Different to the type of target you are talking about,” Mr Birmingham said. \n\n“There is no point in just putting a date on something and say this is when it’s going to happen if you don’t have a plan to get there.”\n\n Birmo Little point setting a Net Zero target by 2050 Just to watch countries like Australia do bugger all. Of course it will be part of the deal.

Espionage activities are 'reaching a high point' in Australia | Sky News AustraliaExecutive Director of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute Peter Jennings said the operation of foreign spies on Australian soil recently uncovered by ASIO indicates that our political independence” could be seriously compromised.\n\nOn Monday ASIO Director-General of Security Mike Burgess said a sleeper agent had been operating in Australia for years, gathering intelligence on dissidents before he was caught by the intelligence organisation and thrown out of the country.\n\n“What Mr Burgess did was lift the veil on a number of intelligence practices which will come as news to a lot of people in the broader community,” Mr Jennings told Sky News Host Chris Kenny. \n\n “These types of espionage activities have been happening in Australia for many years” but they are “reaching a high point at this moment,” he said. \n\nMr Jennings believes it to be “critically important” that Australians understand the significance of the threat that has been uncovered by ASIO and don’t think of it as “some type of James Bond fiction”.\n\nWhile the government has not publicly attributed the espionage operation to any particular nation, Mr Jennings said “China is the biggest strategic problem that we face at the moment”. \n But spy for what? Technology? Soil? Weather? Energy? Not sure what the spies look for. Why not turn the guy and have him feed back ambigious info implying other suspected spies had turned....then kick back & watch the show. No point outing him & deporting the guy. Hell just be replaced by another agent. It wouldnt be hard to make him afraid of going back to china.
