I withdraw. It's going to be fuelled by the hot air and the bile that's spilling out of the Nationals party room. Genius! Emissions free! The Prime Minister has two weeks left for Glasgow. He may as well revert to type. He doesn't have any ideas of his own, so what about stealing some of our ideas? Unlike the Morrison government, we in Labor have not only committed to net-zero emissions by 2050; we've announced $20 billion for renewable energy infrastructure, $200 million for 400 community solar batteries, $100 million for 10,000 energy apprenticeships and a plan for cheaper electric cars. While the Prime Minister does nothing, only Labor and a Labor Party in government will deliver net-zero by 2050, will make Australia a renewable energy superpower and will take real action on climate change.
