Net zero by 2050 plan not supported by whole of Coalition Albanese Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese says as always with Prime Minister Scott Morrison its all about the spin never substance amid the announcement of Australias commitment to net zero by 2050 The word plan doesnt constitute a plan no matter how often you say it and what font its printed in Mr Albanese said As always with this prime minister it is all about marketing all about the spin never about the substance He said if the plan was truly supported by the whole of the Coalition then Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce would have launched it alongside Scott Morrison The fact is that the only reason why there is not going to be legislation about net zero by 2050 isnt that theres a risk it wont be carried because Labor would vote for net zero by 2050 It is because the Coalition would be embarrassed by the number of their own members who would cross the floorNet zero by 2050 plan not supported by whole of Coalition Albanese
