'Found our voice': Nationals formally abandon net zero by 2050 climate promise The Nationals have formally abandoned a commitment to reach net zero emissions by 2050, setting a challenge for Opposition leader Sussan Ley whether to follow or risk splitting the Coalition.

"The Page Research Centre said the agriculture sector and rural areas had borne the burden of emissions reduction, and that effort should be better shared."

Who is Page Research Centre? Hardly independent

"before considering return to Nationals"

So he's all bluff and bluster in order to get his way?

According to the oz....

"Joyce wants stronger guarantees on renewables rollout before considering return to Nationals"

"The community sector sees first hand the enormous impact climate change is having on people’s mental and physical health, as well as their housing security.

Removing support for net zero will expose the people doing toughest to even greater harm."

"People and communities experiencing disadvantage, including those in regional and rural Australia, are bearing the brunt of more frequent and severe heatwaves, storms, floods and fires."

The Guardian:

"ACOSS chief executive Cassandra Goldie said:

This decision shows a reckless disregard for the climate crisis and the people already suffering its effects."

"The NCRA makes it clear: no Australian community is immune, and coordinated action is essential. "

The regions the NATS purport to represent are some of those impacted the most in the past. Hope NATS voters take note. Ditto LIBS, who are bound to follow the tail of their dog

Agree. And this just before the upcoming "higher risk weather season"

"Grounded in climate science

The Summit follows the release of Australia’s first National Climate Risk Assessment (NCRA)—a report that outlines the cascading, compounding, and concurrent risks posed by climate change. "

Nationals scrapping net zero policy after party room meeting

The Nationals have unanimously decided to scrap net zero commitments after a party room meeting this morning.

Nationals leader David Littleproud is speaking to media now,

If you can stomach - read this. Moaning about everything in Australia - especially net zero - complimenting Trump, Charlie Kirk and Milei

"A long-running family dispute, initiated by Rinehart’s eldest children John Hancock and Bianca Rinehart, has frozen $6.4 billion of dividends owed to beneficiaries.

“The dividends ... cannot be paid until those disputes are resolved,” Hancock said......”

"Since the financial year ending June 30, Roy Hill and Atlas have paid their parent Hancock an additional $765 million in fully franked dividends"

Gina's doing OK, kids not so.......

Gina Rinehart pockets $1.4b payout despite Hancock profit slide Hancock Prospecting is controlled by Rinehart with her four children having a small stake via a trust. A dispute about the trust has frozen $6.4b of dividends.

"Roy Hill, 70 per cent-owned by Hancock, halved its fully franked dividend to $2 billion, meaning Rinehart’s payout was cut to $1.4 billion from $2.8 billion a year ago. The remaining ownership of Roy Hill is split between Japan’s Marubeni, South Korean steelmaker POSCO and Taiwan’s CSC."

These allegations need to be further investigated, given the nature of prostitution in Thailand

Prince Andrew’s business dealings will be his real downfall His links to Jeffrey Epstein may dominate headlines, but it will be revelations about the prince’s time as a UK trade special representative that will do the real damage.

Andrew Lownie Royal historian
"As detailed in my book, much of this centres on his time as the British Special Representative for Trade and Investment between 2001 and 2011, a position that was meant to use the soft power of the British monarchy to promote British trade."

World leaders, remember that future generations will judge you. At Cop30, you can define how | Gordon Brown Keir Starmer is taking the lead on tackling the climate crisis. With the US backing away, now is the moment when other nations must step up, says former UK prime minister Gordon Brown

"Those leaders who understand the urgency should seize the opportunity afforded by Brazil hosting Cop30 this month to build a coalition of committed countries determined to turn back the climate deniers."

He’s from Melbourne. If he wanted cash he should have just used a machete and did some home invasions, maybe stabbed a few home owners. He would have got the cash and avoided going to prison and avoided the fine. Good old Melbourne. A real dumpster fire.

"Speaking from South Korea, where he is attending the APEC Summit, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the Coalition’s net zero process as a “circus” and out of step with global developments."

“The world is getting on with the transition to net zero," he said.
