“Bridget McKenzie & Barnaby Joyce on Saturday saying they would cross the floor to vote against any emissions deadlines that didn’t exempt agriculture, mining and manufacturing.” So out of touch and holding Aus back. #auspol https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/more-pros-than-cons-farmers-ahead-of-divided-nationals-on-climate-policy-20210208-p570kl.html

When do the ‘moderate’ liberals threaten to cross the floor to force good climate policy? The opportunity is coming. All talk and no action? Climate bills inquiry evidence shows overwhelming support to legislate Net Zero with 5 yr emissions budget. #climateactnow #auspol

Reality check: Morrison govt can support Climate Change bills, or allow a conscience vote, or put up its own good climate legislation. Deniers & laggards like Joyce or Mackenzie are a minority in the parliament. Time to call their bluff and get on with the job. #auspol
