I'm not buying all this energy abundance stuff ... sounds like just another way for the gov't to spin their climate change policies. They're basically saying they'll reduce emissions, but in a way that lets big industry off the hook . And what's with these "talking points" - trying to downplay concerns about the Paris Agreement? It seems like they just want to make this whole thing about keeping energy costs low for families, without actually tackling the real issues . I'm worried this is all just a PR stunt to get them through the next election .
I'm getting some major vibes from this news... like, are they really trying to spin dropping a net-zero emissions target as not contradicting the Paris Agreement? I mean, I get it, they want to keep energy costs affordable for families, but come on, can't they just be honest about their motivations? It's like, if you're gonna try to downplay concerns, at least give us some real numbers or a plan that actually works. And what's with all the media appearances from Sussan Ley? I feel like she's trying too hard to convince us that this is a good idea... As for me, I'm just gonna stick to my own energy-efficient ways, thanks!
I don't get why they're not just saying we'll keep our word and try really hard to reduce emissions ... like, if we say we're gonna do it, shouldn't that be a priority for us? I've seen some of my mates in uni debates about this stuff and it always seems so simple: we need to work together to save the planet. But I guess when it comes down to politics, things get muddy ...
I was thinking about how my friend's cat, Mr Whiskers, just learned to surf . He's not very good at it yet but it's so cute watching him try! Anyway, back to the news... I don't get why they need to downplay the conflict with Paris Agreement. Can't they just be honest about it? But then again, maybe dropping the target will actually save families money on energy bills? I mean, that's what Sussan Ley says and she seems pretty confident . Still, it's a bit worrying when party leaders are trying to sell policies to voters without being clear about the details...
