@secco "The Coalition’s latest scare campaign over Labor’s climate policy highlights the real mess surrounding adequate planning for a shift towards renewables. Half of the experts cited say they were misquoted.”

"Tony Wood, one of Australia’s leading energy experts, prefers to think that Scott Morrison was simply confused. “Let’s assume,” he says, “it wasn’t deliberate.”
...Others have called it a lie.”

I want to begin today’s reading of the @SatPaper with this piece from @SquigglyRick - thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/13754/9H… (unlocked). It highlights the gaping hole in our election rules that allows seats in Parliament to be effectively bought.

I want to be crystal clear: Clive Palmer is playing within the rules when it comes to advertising. They appear everywhere; are questionable in their content; and perfectly legal.
It’s why we (@austdems) think the rules need to change.

Please do take a read through the article and ask yourself whether you want our democracy overrun entirely by whoever has the bigger bank balance?
We need to introduce caps on campaign spending; truth in political advertising laws; and we need them fast.

[The economy is not working for everyone, and has not done so for some time. It is currently a vehicle for extracted wealth from the lower- and middle-classes and concentrating it in the hands of the wealthy. That’s by 40 years of design.]

[Integrity in government is not all about a Federal ICAC, and this story shows just one of the ways non-corrupt conduct eats away at the fabric of our democracy. We’ll talk about this at the National Integrity Policy Forum next week.]

"After cutting funding to the overwhelmed Administrative Appeals Tribunal in last month’s budget, the Morrison government has appointed 19 new members and deputy presidents to it, almost half of whom have links to the Liberal Party or conservative politics."
We’ll begin today’s reading of the @SatPaper with this article by @secco - thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/13577/Va…
Taylor’s office spent $1 billion on ‘sham’ carbon projects
[The reason I’m going to harp on about this is because next week’s Budget will contain more money for shit projects.]

"Analysis by a former chair of the government’s carbon pricing integrity committee shows almost all the money spent on emissions reduction has gone to projects that did not contribute to reductions."
[Minister Taylor is just one of a number of cabinet members who don’t seem to know how to do the basics of their portfolio. Whether it’s Colbeck not caring about the Aged, or Joyce not grasping infrastructure, they’ll all of a type.]
Good morning, and welcome to today’s reading of @SatPaper . With the IPCC report landing last Monday, let’s begin today with @MikeSeccombe’s feature on Angus Taylor - thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politics/…
"Revealed: Energy companies turn on Angus Taylor”

"Revealed: Energy companies turn on Angus Taylor”
#SatPaper
"Following revelations the Morrison government pressured AGL to sack its last chief executive, energy companies have increasingly isolated Angus Taylor.”
"This is a story about trust. More specifically, it is a story about just how little trust the major energy companies have for Angus Taylor and the rest of the Morrison government."
