Business leaders have described the unfolding bushfire crisis as a "Port Arthur moment", urging the Morrison government to adopt a co-ordinated national strategy to confront climate change and aggressively reduce carbon emissions.would take stronger action on climate change and support new renewable technologies, although he ruled out lifting emissions targets and introducing a "tax" on carbon.
"In the years ahead we are going to continue to evolve our policy in this area to reduce emissions even further,” he said. “IAG recently released a report showing that our climate is changing more quickly than many have predicted," he said.
It’s that L word again. Do not expect any real leadership from ScottMorrisonMP, there will be spin, spending, action but not leadership. If business can see the need why can’t the politicians?
For comparison
not going to happen The coal barons have a stranglehold on LNP gov
If past behaviour is any indicator, nothing will change. Rhetoric may change but there’ll be no major policy shift.
The same business leaders calling for a big Australia with unprecedented urban sprawl?
What is it you idiots think he can do, look at latest NASA emissions map
That won’t happen while the coal and oil invested lnp is in power. We will have to wait for labour to have the numbers in both houses of parliament for common sence in government to become a reality.
False flag? Huh wha?
Only after the shit hit the fan
One obvious starting point
I agree, stupid laws were put in place after Port Arthur, let’s see what we have in store now.
Are these the same business leaders who cheered on the repeal of the carbon tax that was, you know, actually working at reducing emissions?
