Time after time Australia's current Labor Party government headed by PM #AnthonyAlbanese has betrayed not only our trust but also historic Labor Party principles. #Australia #Auspol #AustralianLaborParty #Betrayal #globalwarming #NetZero #ClimateEmergency https://independentaustralia.net/politics/politics-display/labor-must-decide-what-its-legacy-will-be,19794

Well look at that ! When the misogynist #AndrewHastie usurps #LOTO Ley, the #Conservatives (Liberals) will abandon the fig-leaf of #NetZero & any hope of government.
But the WA frontbencher Andrew Hastie this week told the ABC net zero was “a straitjacket that I’m already getting out of”.
If federal and State #Labor were truly worried about the cost of energy as well as the pace of energy transition funding to meet #NetZero , there are more effective and timely ways to address these issues than granting extension to #Woodside ‘s #Gas exploitation in an fragile environment,
1) tax #FossilFuelExtraction industries appropirately (a la Denmark)
2) use tax income to fund electrification and renewables (including storage)
3) legislate reserve gas for domestic use, price-capped to mitigate #costofliving pressures
4) properly support regional areas in local job creation (use that greedy corporate zeal to make some lasting changes in regional Australia).
No extension of gas exploitation was required and the #Corporate #grifters can go an f** themselves.

Have we reached peak neoliberal farce yet? A day after the feds approve Woodside's North-West Shelf climate bomb, Victoria approves a gas import terminal. Now we can give away huge amounts of our gas to be sold overseas only to buy it back and ship it to Victoria to supply the eastern states. Instead of cracking down on this market-driven comedy, Labor bows to its fossil industry donations while we and our economy suffer. Brilliant. #auspol #netzero

The mining company #FortescueMetals – owned by the billionaire #AndrewForrest, who says he aims to meet “real zero” carbon emissions – has sharply #criticised the #Albanese government’s approval of a 40-year life extension for the #NorthWestShelf #gas processing facility.
The company’s chief executive, #DinoOtranto, said the idea that #Australia could lock in #fossilfuel projects until 2070 while still claiming progress toward #netzero was “concerning”. #auspol

Experts debunk Farage claim that scrapping #NetZero would save £40bn a year
#ReformUK leader claimed abandoning #climate-friendly policies would help fund his party’s commitments to ending 2-child benefit cap & bringing back Winter Fuel Payment for #OAPs
But his promises have been put under scrutiny, with Treasury civil servant saying the UK Government was spending “nothing on [the] scale” claimed by #Farage.

First, #NetZero was turned into a lie to hide how much emissions had to be reduced. Now, it’s a lie to stop renewables from being used. The fossil fuel industry is built on lies. It’s run by liars. Stop letting them control the future.

The #Canada #Pension Plan #CPP has been lambasted by industry #watchdog #ShiftAction for dropping its 2022 commitment to invest in line with the country’s #NetZero action targets.
Shift Action said the move by the CPP investment board #CPPIB was an “unacceptable abdication of responsibility” to the 22 million #Canadians whose #retirement savings it handles and also “difficult to find” in the organization’s 2025 Annual Report, mentioned just once on the 23rd page of the report released Wednesday morning.

"On #NetZero; the view is always that people don't care about it, but actually there's lots of evidence now to show we frequently underestimate how much other people care about it. And they do that because they have the media constantly telling them that politicians can't act on the #climate crisis because people won't like it."
