Don’t forget they also hate power companies who want to close down decaying, run down and inefficient coal fired power stations.
Seriously nuts.

dazza_double_u What power or persuasion can the greens have to do that what is the point of producing coal you can't sell
I’m sure they don’t give a rats what Canavan thinks. They aren’t going to throw money into any project that a solid business plan finds is too risky or not likely to be profitable into the future.

Either these people are morons, or they think we are ... auspol Glencore
broomstick33 How about cigar puffing Libs?
Michelle Landry is correct. This absolutely is a kick in the guts for the LNP. They’ve relentlessly and sycophantically kissed up to big corporates, loudly proclaiming just how reckless and soulless the LNP were prepared to be to win their favour and this is the thanks they get?
dazza_double_u .Oh ffs how stupid do they think the public is

KnowingPark So nothing to do with a business decision based on a diminishing market then? At least as far as the LNP is concerned.
Where was their outrage when 'cigar smoking men in blue ties' forced car manufacturers out of Australia ?!!

I just just buy the woolies 3in1 sachets of nestle creamy latte. It's shit but what the hell...you've gotta live it up sometimes.
What's worse... A 'latte sipping Green ' or a RM Williams coal man(kickbacks) ranting ...
Landry’s comments 🤮🤮🤮
Not content with sending the country broke, they want to see their Big Mining mates go broke as well? Investors are deserting Fossil Fuel in droves, but these FossilFools continue to rail against a clean future, and a possible salvage of Planet Earth.
Hmmm did Canavan’s brother John finally purchase that Glencore RollestonCoalMine?
So they should letting greens run their business seems corporate management surrender to the greens
RoyanWg I'd like to berate the COALition for pushing their corrupt pro coal. How hypocritical of these IPA libertarians who bang on about letting the market decide to now have a hissy fit over the market's decision to divest coal. Tough titties guys you can't have it both ways. auspol
Total bullshit, party of free market my arse, private companies make their own decisions, to interfere is against what the liberals say they stand for.
Coal miners don't drink milky coffee? Anyway Glencore is one of the most ruthless hard-headed corporations on the planet. They don't care who they kick in the guts and they're certainly not weeping Green tears in the boardroom.
And So They should be berated.
RoyanWg Nationals Zipper party giving advice but no mention of climate change or extreme weather drought water & a dying reef
Business understands where the future is leading, the LNP is in the dark there heads are up each other's behinds
Damn straight it’s “latte sipping greens” that are responsible. As the Glencore CEO said, they listened to their investors. How hypocritical that latte sipping greens have shares in coal companies.
Forward thinking and future proofing a bussiness is required by publicly listed companies. For a party who is for big business they know fuck all about it. I also blame sausagegate for the blocking of Ozzie coal in China. Thanks Barry O.
It's all about the free market regulating itself when they're driving up prices and gouging us, but as soon as they do something to make the LNP look foolish, big business no longer has all the answers. auspol

They should applauded
Are you talking about the rich shareholders? They want a say in what the company does. Isn't that Capitalism?Even capitaĺism has turned against you canavan
Hello World! They're Dinosaurs.
The Greens who have so very little power are responsible for everything! Right. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Have you heard the news today, oh boy. 10 thousand holes in New South Wales.
As Canavan stands on the deck of LNP TITANIC he yells, it's just a little leak
THE GREENS HAVE FRIED AUSTRALIA.
Go the Greens. Greens
Hey cokhead, Australians are disappointed at you and your government so take a fcking hike!
Latte is so last century - it's all flat white now. They can't even get up to date with their coffee
Latte sipping Conservatives now have to reconsider their choice of beverage. Flat whites all round now.

Ahhhhhhh Capitalism at work (or are you advocating a communist approach where you are told by the government what to do?)
Smell the smoke
Umm market forces? Aren't you the government that is supposedly here to cut red tape and allow business to flourish in a free market? Seems a little hypocritical to me.
What an absolute whining sook Matt Canavan is. His family has investments in coal, the promotion of which is his only reason for being in parliament, and when the naughty buggers dare to make decisions without his permission he carries on like he actually has some power - lol.
Free Markets free markets liberalism ...gone to the dogs
So.. our clever government is running / directing coal mining companies now Who knew
I tried to join the dots, but there weren't any dots, and the biro was out of ink. I was trying to think of a pun to describe Canavan's absurd rant, but its absurdity is something that can almost stand on its own, then fall flat.
pedwards2014 Shit, Josh, there's five whole corals left alive.

twtrrr Amazing they are all about free market until it suites. They have no problem intervening in the coal industry at every given opportunity. Hypocritical idiots.
Our country is being run by genuinely some of the dumbest people we have
Wow the LNP advocating govt intervention into private capital....thats a bit socialist. So much for the champions of the free market!
Private company makes a decision in the best interests of shareholders in a global open market. Sounds like a Lib's wet dream but rabid neoLib ideology gets in the way. Abbott wants to nationalise Liddell. Now two bozos won't let a company decide on it's own production targets.
Is cigar smoking OK?
Matt just go marry a coal mine already.

bencubby Lol
Shocking. It’s double-espresso now. Do they not know anything?
Glencore don't give a rat's about the environment. They know coal is soon to be a stranded asset and can't justify further capitalisation. The LNP are beyond rational when 'the market' makes decisions that defy their fantasy view of the world.
I love how they can't just say 'greens' or 'progressives' its always 'latte sipping' or 'hand-wringing' or 'bleeding-heart'... I mean they're meant as insults but they're not really are they? I'd rather be compassionate, civil and environmentally minded than take corrupt payments
The Coalition are toast, don’t take any notice of them. They’re only in it for themselves and their donors
Dinosaurs.
Yeah... coz coal is like good for humanity... apparently.
Glencore can see the writing on the wall. The lnp are living in the 18 century
davidbewart Oh look! The Minister for Lowering Electricity Prices *and* The Minister for Coal! Together! Fancy a latte, mattjcan and AngusTaylorMP? renewables

When did the latte become a sign of intellectual elitism?
MSMWatchdog2013 Somehow I doubt a coal mining company will make economic decisions based “latte sipping Greens” 😏
MSMWatchdog2013 Meanwhile, China has stopped the boats 😂
Why latte sipping ... ? Do others 'guzzle' their lattes? This is suggesting that people who are socially, climactic,and other wise educated ,Effete & live in the inner city ...Just in passing, did Germans have to pay for Goebbles propaganda .. Like Australians pay for Murdoch's ?
Haven't seen beverage consumption dragged out of the LNP attack archives for a while. Must be desperate. Coalition men don't drink lattes or eat quiche.
They don't get it do they? If it was raining they'd probably set up for a picnic.
mattjcan worried about his investment in bro's coal mine business? Maybe AngusTaylorMP & ScottMorrisonMP can use their big stick legislation & threaten to divest assets from resource companies as well. But hang on, they pulled that legislation....despite spending $$$M on ads
I see those that support New coal as the enemies of my grandchildren's fragile future on this badly damaged planet & will treat them as such Stopadani ExtinctionRebellion
Maybe the Latte sipping greens can force a few tax payments then?
Cliches and fear is all he's got, everyone sees that the emperor has no clothes. Even that grogan standing behind you, oh thats the energy minister lol
Aw! the poor little climate deniers are upset because their favourite coal miner realises where the future lay..... and it aint in coal,im talking about the future,we have to gradually phase coal out!🤪🤪😗
Don’t they know we drink flat whites, not lattes now? 😂
Anyone can see that the rest of the world is moving away from coal. It would be irresponsible of Glencore to its shareholders to not acknowledge and plan for that.
A reprimand from Michelle Landry. Ooh, that's gotta sting. 😜
GCobber99 Who knew? Greenies own majority shares in Glencore.
Damned by faint criticism. NoConfidence
GCobber99 Even the LNP's most favoured constituents are streets ahead of them. When are they going to wake up? Will it be before or after they sink into total irrelevance? auspol
Made my day
It's almost as if Glencore knew China were about to cap our coal imports...yet no one in the LNP has a frigging clue.
Conservatives intervening in a coal companies operations? Isn't this just capitalism at work and the LNP should just be silent?
WhosFibbing The new definition of democratic rule: On election day the majority get put into power. On every other day the minority voices are the rudder that steers the nation. The voice of the Australian people needs to be heard above the global & special interest groups.
Cry me a river
That’s put the company in its place
It's always the latte sipping Greens. Are there no hard right instruments able to win and hold positions of influence.
We fkn need the coal !!!...dont you guys realise that we will have lots of blackouts All you so called climate changes cult..wake up and look for the future! Start mining uranium then! That will save us!
I'm sure the 'latte sipping Greens' will be surprised they in anyway influence the machinations of Glencore. The ATO have trouble just getting readable financial statements from them. I would much rather Mr Carnarvon try to extract tax payable from them.
I thought it was latte sipping lefties? Am I wrong?
MolanJill Ahh but the Chinese stopped imports, could this be more the cause?
Party for business until they fail to do what they say
“Latte sipping Greens” WISH they had that power!
This type of lecturing business started with the car industry and JoeHockey and look where that got us. Bad look for the party, what do LiberalAus stand for when it comes to business?
You mean that 'latte sipper' investment group that controls $32 trillion in assets 😂 these pollies are dangerously dumb!
Ha!
MikeKellyofEM A bit premature seeing as China has halted coal imports
It calls business acumen, imagine these morons running any business, it won’t last for a year
“Latte sipping” what a pathetic, hackneyed insult. I guess hairy chested Matt only sips cappuccino or macchiato
Dear climate change deniers, please read 'How to boil a frog' - we are in warm water!
mattjcan was lying again when he said 'we've seen a record amount of electricity generated by coal-fired power'. Coal-based energy consumption is past its peak. Btw it would be your job to point these lies out, MaxKoslowski.
outrage that coal mining is going to be capped Canavan is only thingking coal money now Never give a thought abt global climate or our kids' future Billion$ greed
The LNP, putting “coal” in coalition and their heads in the sand.
What this pathetic Government just doesn't get is that it is no longer Governing, if it ever did. Australia and Australians are moving forward in climate change and probably other areas in spite of the Government not with it. ElectionTime
I love these “coal is dead” comments. Coal will be powering the bulk of the worlds needs for quite some time to come.
A lot of Ms Landry's friends are due a kick in the arse.
In the absence of any climate change policy from this government, large companies are starting to formulate their own policies on CC. This will change in 3 months when the new government will actually have a CC policy!
To keep the latte sipping greens happy why not shut every coal mine coal operated power station. Then build “clean Nuclear power stations but then they will whine about we can’t have spent Nuclear fuel rods. Bring back the horse and buggy
Pffft. Go away Canavan. Just because it doesn’t suit your own personal greed pig agenda doesn’t mean that their decisions are ideologically wrong either.
Bullies call names-MOP should have intelligent comments points of view& try& convince the Public .mattjcan can’t articulate a point of view against the science of the world &Of course if you are solely there to shore up you brother your coal baron mates &secure a job4the future
The COALition cannot accept that mining businesses, like Glencore, need to listen to their shareholders ... and science.
Coming from the Minister for his brother’s stranded coal mining asset.
I applaud the kick in the guts.
climatechange deniers and self-interested grifters, beholden to mining companies for donations.
Complete denial that renewables are killing coal, when do we get to vote these idiots out, the market is deciding just as it should be
Sip it up, LNP.

No, it’s economics! You know, that free market trickle down thingy Daddy told you about
Ha even the miners no there time is coming to an end climatechange
Love my latte. Love my country and love my planet 🌏 coal is dead .... let it go
Who knew that latte sipping greenies had such power
Pretty stupid decision by Glencore. Sure, Coal is low margin at around 4%, but its ROA is better than than the other divisions. All a supply freeze will do is give up market share.
Hey coalition I thought you were into market forces or does that only apply if it suits their rich mates
Oh go and cry to mummy Matty 💩
Sooooo fed up with this toxic government! Begone!
When was the last time Glencore actually paid corporate tax? One of the biggest tax evaders in Australia
Wildfire bushfires , droughts , record temperatures and 100 year floods all in one season as predicted would occur with climate change ... and still the LNP is out there on song for their coal lobby donors .
Shorter: Shareholders, take your franking credits but shut up and get out of the way of affective company strategy
You would hate to be part this mob of coal munching climate change deniers. Talk about being on the wrong side of humanity. LNPCorruption
Caravan should be happy, more proof the Libs are feeding their mates with their climate change denial
Imagine that - a political party being surprised that a Corp runs its business based on economics & its clients Wonder why LNP hasn't worked this out...
The writing was on the wall for coal in 2010. The Carbon Tax was a way that Australia could deal with the changiing environmental and economic climate. Now China is boycotting coal too. The LNP has completely botched this critical issue.
Sometimes I wonder what they use to stop their heads caving in. There’s no evidence of any brains. Maybe they’re storing coal in there waiting for the price to go up.
It’s not “latte sipping” it’s “caffeine free, soy milk, latte sipping” fucking Greens.
Yes, it's all those latte sipping Greens shareholders for sure.
Wasn't this a commercial decision Minister? Aren't your lot supposed to be in favour of the market deciding?

Climate change denial
Pity they fail to reprimand rorter & contacted corruptors.
Have the stakes ever been higher than in the forthcoming Federal election?
Coal is dead, ask China.
How long will the LNP fight against the tide of history?
Bloody latte sippers mattjcan 😉
Can we please hurry up and vote these muppets out.
January was the hottest month in Australian recorded history, and the continent is basking in solar radiation. Burning dinosaurs seems short sighted...
