newspoll presser two. Morrison is in low pitch serious voice mode. Won’t last long.

he says it is a tuff day in NSW and he wants to get strayans to christmas, like anyone in Sydney has our eyes on fucking christmas.

he then starts bitching about the IPCC report. Why should our *economic futures* be on the line? he whines like a spoilt brat.

the fucking techtopian fantasy. Technology not taxes, he says. Taxes do not solve the problem in Indonesia, or in China, or SouthAfrica, says Morrison. Because emissions KEEP GOING UP, he shouts. No mention of emissions going down under Labor’s price on carbon. He is campaigning.

Australia is and must keep continue to do its part, he lies, and Australia has a strong track record, he lies. We report our emissions “every sector, every GAS, every quarter”. What does that even fucking mean? He repeats it. Every sector, every gas, every quarter.

he is shouting again. Takes credit for solar uptake on residential housing. He promises to take fuck all climate policy to the next election, again. He is appealing to the absolute WORST devils of our nature. Telling voters we do not have to change a fucking thing.

it is the strayan way to campaign on tax lies and it is not the strayan way to [checks notes] spray paint a letter on the parliament.
Good to know, mate.

his government “cares deeply about this issue”, says Morrison, a lie. He refuses to name the actual issue, which is existential threat to humanity caused by men like him and his corporate masters.

the nuclear grade corrupted emissions minister gets up and repeats Liberal Party slogans. Technology not taxes. Meet and beat. These people are deranged. They are a clear and present threat. An immediate danger to themselves and others.

the MINISTER for EMISSIONS also addresses the pressing issue of [checks notes] whether spray paint on a building is the Australian way.

numbers numbers. Millions billions. Germany, Japan. “Strengthen our economies create jobs” is also the Australian way. Okay mate.

the first question is a double hander on climate catastrophe and Berejiklian catastrophe. Morrison says straya is the most transprants country in the world on emissions reporting. He is clinging to this lie like a drowning man.

he repeats more strayans than should be legal in a campaign set piece on climate catastrophe. THOSE strayans get it, says Morrison, of the man voters he is relying to return his government - man farmers, man mine workers, and other man business owners.

on NSW, we get as much “lockdown” from Morrison as we get “vaccine” from Berejiklian.

you mentioned Andrew Forrest. Do you agree the human race is slowly cooking itself?
A: many strayans are worried about their electricity bills going up and I take that very seriously [abridged].

there are different strayans with different worries across the whole country, which is a big one.
Indeed.
Been poring over the electoral map again this morning ay Scott.

he does not want regional areas to make sacrifices. He makes no comment on any exceptions. He does not want other strayans to make sacrifices either. He wants to keep our economy growing. To make sure strayan [extractive industry] companies can get loans from banks.

lmao Coorey is not letting go of the city country conflict line he wants to run. Asks Morrison if he has shifted on exceptions for regional areas, a pointless exercise. Morrison never concedes a policy shift, even if it is the exact opposite of what he said yesterday.

the fossible fuel alternatives. Sic. Committsmnts will be made, says Morrison. Sic. Governments will not solve this, he says, a clear statement of his intention to not create emissions lowering policy settings. The thing that solves it is not political commitments, he repeats.

refuses the follow up to these clear committsments to not lead on climate catastrophe, and leans on “Kath” to get him out of the corner he drove into himself.

2030, says Murphy, and the cost of inaction? As usual, Morrison takes this invitation to deliver his political messaging, and says straya “will do more and more and more”. Yep, that is a verbatim quote.

oh bless. Morrison has “an economic and environmental plan”. Drink.

last question is a sitter on the military. He is very pleased to make available that ADF assistance, says happy soldier daddy, as he was in Victoria last year.
We know, mate.

runs his suppression phase bullshit, his lockdown comms, and slogan of the day, which is he wants to get straya to christmas and wants everybody to be there.
Fact-check:
1/ 25 December will roll around as it does every year.
2/ people will die between now and 25 December.

I can not overstate how appalling this man is on climate catastrophe. He said straight to camera that governments will not solve “this issue”. He can barely name it.

Translation: HIS government will shout TECHNOLOGY NOT TAXES for electoral purposes, while the world burns.
