On 26th Oct 2021, Australian PM Scott "don't-be-scared-of-coal" Morrison announced the Coalition's #NetZero2050 #ClimateTarget.

That same day, I read the document containing Morrison's 'plan'. It contained nothing to get Australia anywhere near the (already compromised idea of) #NetZero.

There was no plan, no modelling, no change in actual policies. The #ScottMorrison 'commitment' to net zero was still completely consistent with decades of #Coalhugger #Coalition policies. The target was toothless, an exercise in getting a headline to quiet the conscience of the news-skimming voter whose grandkids keep telling them climate is bad but who really wants to vote for hurting marginalised people and/or retaining their current tax loopholes (and who hasn't realised how much the #ALP embraces both anyway).

So with this week's news that #SussanLey has dropped that pretence, at least now there is one iota less dishonesty in Australian politics (albeit one with its own new lies and contradictions).

The last time the Coalition's #ClimatePolicy slightly departed from utter loyalty to the #DirtyEnergy industry was the morning of the 1st Dec 2009 in the hours before #MalcolmTurnbull was deposed as leader of her Majesty's Opposition and replaced by #TonyAbbott by a single vote.

🔥 Political inaction against #climate (and nature) crisis costs billions.

#LarissaWaters, #Greens’ leader, said:

The revelations about #Australia’s #future under #climatechange detailed in this report are chilling.

The #climatecrisis is a risk to our safety, to nature, & to our economy & productivity. This report must be a wake-up call for #Labor ahead of their 2035 climate target decision.

If Labor fails to set a science-based #climatetarget then it’s crystal clear: they’ve utterly prioritised coal & gas profits at the expense of community safety & nature. #auspol

Does the #EU need a 2040 #climatetarget? Of course, they should. They should also have targets for 2035 and 2045. All the stakeholders must look at the targets and plan accordingly. #eugreendeal #climatecrisis
