The only thing Morrison took to Glasgow besides an overly inflated ego and his marketing ability was a blue book with ‘plan’ written on it, (nobody knows what it actually is), and a planeload of bullshit. The only ‘plan’ the coalition has ever had regarding climate change has been to do nothing while egregiously instilling fear into Australians that the cost of electricity and the price of necessities will become exorbitant, and everybody will lose their jobs [if we ‘go renewable’].
It’s a complete travesty and injustice that this appalling government has survived for nine years. Tony Abbott’s contribution was to brand anthropogenic climate change as ‘crap’ and to foolishly repeal Labor’s highly successful Carbon Tax.
Morrison’s big stunts were to childishly brandish a lump of coal in Parliament singing its praises; and infamously telling us that electric vehicles will ‘destroy the weekend’.
This sudden policy backflip by Morrison is no more than a devious political fix to attempt to steal another election, and an implicit admission that they have shamelessly lied to us voters for a decade for expedient political gain. What Australia is definitely lacking and desperately needs, is a government – and especially a PM –that doesn’t lie their way from one disaster to another, and above all, that can actually be trusted.
