Labor has blasted the Coalition’s net zero plan as a “scam” straight out of former Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s playbook.
Mr Albanese said there was “nothing new” in the plan presented by the Coalition, claiming is was based on existing policies and lacked ambition.
“As always with this prime minister, it is all about marketing. All about the spend, never about the substance.” Labor’s Climate Change Spokesman Chris Bowen also doubled down on the Coalition’s 2030 target of a 26-28 per cent reduction in emissions. “The fact is that the only reason why they're not going to make legislation about net zero by 2050, isn't that there's a risk that won't be carried - because Labor would vote for net zero by 2050.
He said if there was genuine unity Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce would have taken his place beside Mr Morrison at Tuesday’s announcement., then Barnaby Joyce would have launched it with the prime minister.”
