(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.)

Footage from 2021 of US Ambassador Kevin Rudd calling Donald Trump a "village idiot" has resurfaced, prompting News Corp commentators to call for his resignation.

However, both PM Albanese and Opposition Leader Dutton have stood by Rudd, dismissing claims that he is "under pressure."

Meanwhile, Sky News’ Chris Kenny and other media personalities are demanding the government recall Rudd over his comments.

A war over Taiwan would be as great as the impact of World War II, making the world "a radically different place," said Australia's ambassador to the United States, Kevin Rudd. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/06/07/asia-pacific/politics/war-taiwan-australia-us/ #asiapacific #politics #australia #us #kevinrudd #china #taiwan

Murdoch's news.com is advertising/doing it's propaganda schtick in my local shopping centre / mall.

"Jacinta Price rips into Albanese over VIP flights" the 5 foot high advertising screen read for 20 seconds before moving on to the next bit of consumerist brainwashing, an ad about which health insurance you should buy.

#KevinRudd's idea of a #RoyalCommissionIntoMurdochMedia is still a good one.
And seeing where USA, UK, NZ, and IN are, we need it more now.

@strypey
Yes, the #SilentWar on progressives is intense still to this day, the West have refined #gaslighting and vilifying, mostly labeling a public figure who opposes the #corporatists as a #rapist and/or #misogynist. They did that even against #KevinRudd in #Australia.

In the 1930s they were '#industrialists', but in today's era of #hyperFinancialisation we prefer the term '#corporatist", especially over positive-sounding terms like '#neoliberal'.

Sounds terrible. Like a failure of govt to allocate #energy.

Reminds us of the 2009 #PinkBats "Scandal" in #Australia. Our PM #KevinRudd and #PeterGarrett funded as many #builders as possible to install #insulation. It was an incredibly successful #InsulationScheme but #corporateMedia only blame Rudd for the few bad builders that abused the funding, resulting in two worker deaths and some fires.

Aussies save 30% on energy but media focus on bad apples.

Before #KevinRudd was destroyed in the #corporateMedia and removed, he setup a National #insulationScheme that helped #Australia save 30% on #airConditioning!

Not even #USA have worked that one out yet, last we checked.

To be fair KevinRudd wanted a few things the corporates hated; good wired internet for all, sound relations with #China , a #sovereignWealthFund from #mining, and was good on #JulianAssange.

Since the #KRuddCoup we've been, to quote Gillard, "#LosingOurWay", big time.
