I spent 30 years in the Australian Senate. Over that time, my colleagues and I were presented with plenty of difficult political choices and a few easy ones.
The decision to drop net zero by 2050 is an easy one. It’s easy because persisting with net zero by 2050 involves deliberate deception of the Australian people. Global net zero by 2050 is not going to happen. It’s as dead as the blue Norwegian parrot in the Monty Python sketch.
