The Net Zero ‘Plan’ That Allows Fossil Fuel to Flourish | Richie Merzian on BBC World News
The Australia Institute 
“It’s a lacklustre plan. You can’t reach net zero by 2050 and still allow fossil fuels to flourish,”
“The new pledges put forward have been for fossil fuel based technologies like carbon capture and storage and fossil fuel based hydrogen,”
“While it’s great to see this money go forward, not necessarily towards the tech that the PM is hand-picking.”
said Richie Merzian, Climate and Energy Program director at the Australia Institute

Scomo's pathetic "plan" is a complete fraud. All smoke and mirrors to hide the planned inaction. He's taking voters for idiots.
This regime keeps granting new licenses for mines and gas fracking. Can't be trusted.
Richie, you are very modest with your criticism of the Morrison 'plan', but I can understand the need to hold back.
It's time Showbag changed his rhetoric from the banal "Technologies not taxes", to the more accurate "Plans not policy"
If Morrison was genuine about technology his plan for carbon reduction would be full on into renewable energy production and creation.
This would bring a lot more jobs to Australia snd reduce carbon at the same time.
Whenever Morrison’s mouth moves it costs us money and makes us enemies.
Wake up Australia we need a country of leaders who are not divided and who think and act not waffle and easte
What a joke this Australian government is.
Nationals "representing" the country is always a giant stretch.
PM gets off the plane at Glasgow in his budgies. Absolutely no progress and whimsically speculative joke unfortunately
Morrison says one thing and does another.
If Morrison says something it’s normally not true.
Australians grow set and fight back it's all Bullsh.t you are losing your freedom, rights and now the Bullsh.t climate rules for more control to F you all.
The PM is a huge embarrassment to the country. Let's hope the voters show him the door at the next fed election.
