Scott Morrison is setting up another fake fight on a carbon 'tax' | Katharine Murphy

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : The current policy says big polluters, like oil, gas and coal operations, will not face more stringent emissions reduction requirements in Australia than their competitors do overseas, which is why every big business group in the country has welcomed Labor's policy.
44% : The Coalition will achieve net zero through technology, not taxes.
44% : The Nationals leader, Barnaby Joyce, now declares he doesn't like the word transition after signing up to a transition by signing up to a net zero target - unless Boyce is right of course, and the Nationals have signed up to nothing at all, in which case somebody better tell Dave Sharma and Trent Zimmerman and BoJo and the United Nations.
35% : That's not what Liberal candidates are saying in North Sydney, Wentworth, or Goldstein; and 2: it's not what Morrison told the United Nations last year so that old mate BoJo would stop nagging him about saving the planet.
