#juliagillard — Public Fediverse posts

(continued)

Even during the dying days of the 2009 Turnbull era, #Coalition #ClimatePolicy extended as far as tepid support for the deeply flawed Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme introduced by #KevinRudd and his #ALP government.

Rudd's #CPRS had a 2050 emissions target of a measly 60% reduction from 2005 levels, had no mechanism for increasing ambition, grandfathered in a generous gift of pollution certificates to the worst polluters, and did nothing about Australia's massive and rapidly growing #DirtyEnergy exports (Australia's worst climate crime, dwarfing domestic emissions—a grand atrocity yet to be addressed in earnest by either side of the duopoly).

But the CPRS was nonetheless a climate policy with mechanisms that might have actually reduced Australia's domestic emissions over time, something the Coalition have never embraced in the almost-sixteen years since then.

Dropping the #NetZero2050 fig leaf is on brand.

(NB Once Abbott rolled Turnbull, PM Rudd could have easily passed his signature legislation if he had been at all willing to negotiate with the Greens under #BobBrown, who would have voted for the CPRS as literally better-than-nothing, with just one or two small tweaks—tweaks later conceded by #JuliaGillard in minority government. But Rudd wouldn't even talk to Brown.)

Together you've got 35% of #Australians down to where they haven't got $3,000 to rub together.

Similarly, it freaks us out that 11 years have passed since the US-corporation-led coup against our popularly elected PM #KevinRudd, and virtually no one…

…has put 5 and 5 together…

…yet.

What is the difference between #Australia and #Venezuela?

When the #corporateMedia run #smearCampaigns against the popularly elected leader in Venezuela, their people didn't buy into it.

They said GTFO.

#Australians on the other hand, learned the #starfishApproach.
