🔮Morrison takes an unlegislated target to Glasgow. Coalition climate policy remains coal expansion. Coalition politicians use public money to buy votes for their candidates. Not news. This is business as usual.
oh and entire press gallery obediently and uncritically amplify and legitimise this latest federal Coalition election campaign strategy. Also not new.
he can take a bowl of word salad to Scotland with or without the Nationals. Giving public money to client donors and local vested interests is not climate mitigation.
every report I hear is framed by the false assumption that it is good news when the Coalition parties announce the Coalition has reached some Coalition goal which was set by Coalition politicians on the Coalition’s terms. All day every day.
lol the deputy Nationals leader telling RN that their demands are in fact for the “comfort” of Nationals politicians and Nationals voters. Unusual honesty from Littleproud.
still calling handouts to business and other vested local interests in seats they want to win “jobs” tho. One of the biggest lies - from a crowded field - that Coalition politicians tell.
the “price tag is on securing regional jobs” says Littleproud. “We’ll still be digging coal up and still be selling it”. The technology roadmap “gives us some comfort” ie public money to subsidise coal expansion and salve Coalition supporter consciences is Coalition policy.
he keeps saying it. The policy setting is to give government handouts to the coal industry and local communities in seats they want to win. “If coal fired power is efficient why shouldn’t we burn it?” says Littleproud. “I don’t think Australians care” he adds.
