The WA Liberal Party has spectacularly split from the Morrison Government, promising to close state-owned coal-fired power by 2025 in a bid to reach net zero emissions by 2030.

Western Australia Opposition Leader Zak Kirkup unveiled the bold new energy policy in the last few weeks leading up to the March 13 state election. Premier Mark McGowan responded by saying the timeframe put on the policy is unachievable. "Suddenly the Liberal Party, that for 10 years has fought any action on climate, any action on renewables, any action on hydrogen, suddenly releases a policy embracing all of them - they cannot be believed," Mr McGowan said.

What's this? The liberals are the ones fracturing and not Labor, ohhhh noooooooooo

The states will go it alone and Morrison will claim the credit. That’s the do nothing playbook of the liberals.

Idiots

Not getting my vote. Do they want to win the election? nobodytovotefor

Is this clown working for Xi.

There's so many ifs, buts and maybes around this. However, I guess WA can do what it likes with their coal-ford power houses.

good

Why are you MURDOCH MEDIA HOONS not covering the LIBERAL'S PETER DUTTON FIASCO Showing AUSTRALIA your colours again. Let TRUMP be a good example for what will happen to you lot when LABOR gets back into power, evidence against you is overwhelming and MOUNTING!

Climate scares based on breathless climate reporting can lead to bad decisions:

Nice

Excellent move, the country has a energy crisis, not climate crisis and the moderates such as Morrison needs to face the truth. THE PLAN IS UNWORKABLE. The average Australian understands we need cheap base energy supply and it isn't coming from renewables

Ok....

The liberal bloke in charge in WA will be out of a job in 3 weeks. Lunacy
