Labor's 'reckless' climate policy is not one of a 'party of government' | Sky News AustraliaLiberal Senator Zed Seselja says Labor’s 2050 net zero emissions target is the type of policy to be expected from a “minor party like the Greens, but not a party who claims to be a party of government”.\n\nIn contrast to Labor’s “reckless” policy announcement, the Liberal Party have opted against an emissions target beyond 2030, but instead have argued for a renewed focus on technology regarding climate policy.\n\n“We will set out our policies which will include a focus on technology,” he said.\n\nMr Seselja told Sky News host Sharri Markson you cannot “lead a nation in this policy area with just aspirational targets” which could have “very significant economic impacts”.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia Boris Johnson is doing it in the UK 🤔 Shuts some people up while clearly not creating any action or even appropriately addressing the problem? Sounds like government to me 2050 is like bare minimum dedication and its still got the toads losing their shit lmao

Greens' new 'climate trigger' bill will force 'climate change assessment' onto big projects | Sky News AustraliaGreens Senator Sarah Hanson Young says her new private member’s bill which will be introduced to parliament on Monday will enforce a “climate trigger” into Australia’s environmental laws.\n\nThe bill will aim to ensure large, potentially environmentally damaging projects such as oil drillings and the building of new mines will have to undergo an environmental assessment to ascertain their effects on climate change.\n\nMs Hanson-Young told Sky News host Sharri Markson none of the current environment laws and assessments “include the impact on climate change” of such projects and in fact “don't allow for big projects … to be assessed before they’re given a ‘green tick of approval’”.\n\nLiberal Senator Zed Seselja said the Greens “rarely think about … what the actual impacts are on jobs (or) what the impact is on the economy” for such actions on climate change.\n\nImage: Getty Tuesday I know what I’d like to “trigger” and it’s not climate. sarahinthesen8 Sarah you are the only gutsy one , keep on rockin please , Cheers Sue

Week in Politics: Inquiries into bushfires, climate change announced | Sky News AustraliaAnthony Albanese and Scott Morrison have kept busy this week by announcing key policies and inquires into climate change and bushfires. \n\nAustralian companies are also keeping the Morrison Government busy with Coles and Target admitting to underpaying staff, and General Motors axing the iconic Holden brand.\n\nImage: Getty The PM is leading a government that stinks due to the SportsFund, bushfire debacle and selling us off to China. He is disliked in the electorate but what’s going for him is Reseach Officer, Anthony Albanese. Even now a dead Bob Hawke would show up his lack of leadership finesse.

Emission targets should be 'realistic' and not 'cripple our economy' | Sky News AustraliaLNP Senator Matt Canavan says he is very focused on “making sure we do not glibly sign up to these fantastical, ridiculous next-generation target like net-zero emissions by 2050 and cripple our economy in doing so”.\n\nMr Canavan told Sky News he was 'happy to reduce carbon emissions' but they should go about it in a 'realistic way'.\n\nHe said “one of the reasons we have met out Kyoto targets is because we stopped farmers clearing their trees' and as a result “their opportunity to grow and develop their part of this great nation has been diminished”. \n\nOpposition leader Anthony Albanese announced Labor’s commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 however this is a “policy which would have to see us end coal exports in a generation” Mr Canavan said. \n\n“They want to control the amount of exports and wealth that is generated here in central and northern QLD from a room in Canberra. \n\n'This is how far the Labor Party has departed from their original mission to defend and protect workers.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia mattjcan Commonsense mattjcan So instead we'll cripple future generations with the debt of a broken climate and the failed economics of coal. 👍🏽 mattjcan Desk-jockey makes a promise.

Albanese 'has to maintain the fear' for his 'climate gamble to pay off' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Rowan Dean says Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese has “rolled the dice on the ultimate political gamble,” following the announcement of Labor’s target of net-zero emissions by 2050.\n\nMr Dean said the Labor leader “has tied his future and the future of the once proud Labor Party, not to economic prosperity, not to helping the disadvantaged, not to improving the health of the elderly and the poor”. \n\n“Not to raising the education standards of our schools so that those being born today can look forward to competing and beating those overseas kids who are desperate to steal their jobs, no, not one of those things”. \n\nInstead, Mr Dean said, “Albo has tied the future of the Labor Party to the weather”. \n\n“Bizarrely, for years the left has been adamant that climate and the weather are two very separate things … not anymore”. \n\nMr Dean said in order for this “gamble” to “pay-off” for Labor, Mr Albanese has to “maintain the fear” over climate change and emissions.\n AlboMP What fear of climate change or fear of Albo? I don't fear either. He got to stop thinking the voters are mugs and will fall for this bs a second time. AlboMP That’s not a dice. That’s jumping off the cliff. AlboMP this is like bob hawke's 'by 1990 no Australian child will live in poverty' Stupid unachievable out there statements, but Albo your no Bob Hawke. Substance please not fluffy land garbage. auspol
