A re-elected Coalition government would hand up to $130 million to gas giants in the Northern Territory to invest in carbon capture and storage, as part of a $300 million energy industry funding promise.
More than a third of the promised funding, up to $130 million, would be given to gas giants Inpex, Santos and Darwin LNG to construct a new carbon capture and storage hub and assess other options for carbon storage. Mr Morrison said the funding was part of a $2.6 billion commitment to boost the territory’s export capabilities.
Like putting cash on the Titanic.
More than 1/3 of promised funding, up to $130 million, would be given to gas giants Inpex, Santos and Darwin LNG to construct a new carbon capture and storage hub and assess other options for carbon storage. CCS or Cash Conversion Service to LNP donors.
More money to wreck climate and enrich the rich who give nothing back. Great news, thanks Scott. ScottyFromCorruption ScottyTheClimateWrecker
What about a new port, not controlled by the Chinese
Why do Saturn and Jupiter get $$?
Paid $29.8 Mil for a $3.1 Mil on airport land.. Ok, apparently that's as cool as scrapping a sub project after spending $2.4Bil
Both the major parties support this absolute madness. My hope is that the people of lingiari can see through this madness. Gas is a mistake of massive proportions yet the major parties continue to be controlled by the fossil fuel industries.
The bigger the cash splash the more sceptical you have to become, I think back to the bush fires and now the floods, promises of funding just never come to tuition. If you promise something you have to deliver. There is just so many unfulfilled promises.
Promise again? Never trust this bloke
So what does that mean exactly? Phrasing
Is that before or after his ICAC ? He really does have a promise machine running overtime - but can someone take away his Men In Black memory erasers ?
How about the ABC start doing what your payed for telling the truth.
More corporate welfare from the worst economic manager this country has ever seen. Scomo and frydenberg are incompetent beyond comprehension.
I see the Labor party are here again making derogatory comments as usual.
Bin this greedy creature if you want to have a future and live for you and your family.
Bin him now!
‘ Can do capitalism’,,,, What?🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤡🤡🤡🤡
Anything for votes
He is full of gas anyhow.
CCS has been proven to be ineffective in multi million dollar trials, and it's not just a little off required numbers, it is actually totally and utterly worthless. How could anyone with any sense throw more money at it?
You got to be kidding me ask poor people are struggling like hell to find a house to rent and put food on the table and they’re giving money to big companies that make huge profit
You mean Juipter and Saturn?
Offer Australians clean green modified dwarf palm oil trees for biofuel in Australia and help our neighbours like Solomon Islands. NO. Help Ukraine by sending biofuel to Europe. NO. Wind, solar, electric cars. NO. Coal mines. NO. Gas NO. DIFFICULT ?

. Isn't it bad enough we used rhe Australian intelligence community to spy for oil and gas companies - and now we give them free money directly... Do Australians realise that this is THEIR money going to profit the rich. These companies make MEGA PROFITS for shareholders.
Were the two political leaders Albany Z and Morrison paid to do the leaders debate on pay television other parties if not why not the pay television would have got raisings and us unemployment another's wouldn't be able to afford pay TV and be denied the right to see it maybe
Wouldn't the NT be a PERFECT place to invest in sun driven RENEWABLE energy? $130M would be a great investment in R&D and the future of the planet.
You give a one off 5 mins of SenatorWong presser this morning but maintain on-going coverage of ScottMorrisonMP unfounded attack on Labor as a high taxing government. If I cannot trust the to give it to me balanced who can I trust? auspoll2022
Spending all our money without explaining how he will pay for it! No wonder we're in so much debt!
Why waste $130m on CARBON CAPTURE & storage which the experts tell us doesn’t actually work. Is that the best use of our tax payer dollars?
Thanks for the promise of some money Morrison, but my grand kids would rather have a future
Lies lies and more lies
He lies, you can't trust him to deliver on any of his announcements.
ScomoMustGo how about a cash splash on renewables stead of gas?
He fails to make any connection with the actual voter. Only ever an announcement. The broadest ToRs, vague timelines, hyperbolic promises of the future. He treats govt like Pentecostal doctrine. All “what will be if you believe” and never “how to really manage now.” auspol
Is he able to do anything that isn't bad for climate?
Of course he does, didn't last year but now there's an election looming I'm over all the political BS
More millions for the fossil fuel industry..... 🤬 Ask him how that helps the environment Weak , weak.
If he keeps splashing cash around like a drunken sailor before he officially launches his campaign with a speech, what is he going to offer voters then? A free trip to establish their new life on Mars

Should it go straight in the list?
So shortsighted.
If public money has to go to fossil fuels then it is obvious this can not stand on its own feet! The country is passed this - not good enough!
Another day. Another announcement. Same old, same old from this mob. VoteThemAllOut2022
Cash splash of taxpayer money on a huge corporation which should be investing its own profits into these future projects unless of course it benefits the taxpayer directly in the future(dream on)
ScottMorrisonMP forgot to tell you that Austs pay more for Natural Gas use in their homes than overseas Companies who buy it from Aust Gas Giants Kill our Environment make us pay through the nose for the privilege & take our TAX Dollars to subsidise ripping us off ausvotes

'Tradies, Gas, Coal, Guns'. That's their total package. Health, Women Indigenous Australians, Climate etc.... nothing.
How is he going to pay for it? It’s not in the budget.
it is gas giants who should be splashing millions in Australia for Australians not the other way around
Imagine if this were a renewable facility. Foilers would be up in arms. This guy is a fraud.
Does carbon capture work? Is this just window dressing to make out he's doing something about climate change? I have no faith.
Hey Scooty boy, they already pay no tax ScottMorrisonMP ausvotes
Is it true LMP have released a Scotty Ken commemorating 8 years of PM
Why do they need more money? Shouldn't they be the ones giving money back in the form of tax and royalties? If them killing the planet isn't even profitable then why is it allowed? And why has ABC abandoned their principles in favour of supporting a criminal government?
Good..if it wasn't for coal and gas we wouldn't have an economy at all,not that the climate flood myth supporters would agree.
What do we get in exchange?
ScottMorrisonMP AlboMP Hey rorter how about a cash splash for bush fire victims who still don’t have houses? Why should profit making gas, oil & mining giants get my money. Get lost Morrison. auspol AusVotes2022 blessed
$130 million to the gas giants - how does that put food on the table, for a very large majority of the people living in Northern Territory? Why do a few get the money from the public purse? This carnage with the public's money has to stop. auspol
Empty words with nothing behind it. Lies, lies and more lies 🤬🤬🤬
Is this what they should have been doing for the last 9 years?
Why give money to companies that take our resources for next to nothing, offshore billions in profits, pretend to operate at a loss and, when tasked to pay properly threaten to destroy our economy. To add, when the market dips they want the taxpayer to ‘help’ them. Charity?
So $130 million to corporations that will ravage the land. How great. Absolutely super
Speaking of NT, this aged well ausvotes AusPol2022 LNPMassiveFail scomoshitshow
More money to Morrison's gas mates!
Pork Barrel
This blokes normal course of action.
Is that on top of the $250m he promised for CCS in WA? Nuclear fusion will be easier to achieve than carbon capture. Just don't bloody burn the stuff in the first place 🙄
'Man who broke every election promise he made three years ago, from a party who have broken all promises for the last three terms, makes another promise.' Fixed it for you. Why is this never mentioned? How can that possibly be considered not relevant by journalists?
Promises and Announcements. Tell the bushfire victims. Still waiting for the Hawaiian Holiday Boy to do something.
The minister for announcements has made another one! Hooray! What a joyous day! (Sarcasm)
Well this is fcukin outrageous. Most of these companies pay little tax for the pillaging of Australian resources and this feeble excuse of a government just gives them more
Lol CCS = bonus handouts for fossil fuel giants.
Morrison scores double points with that promise, one for fucking the environment yet again and another for increasing Australia’s already trillion dollar deficit.
That's just dandy..
History tells us he breaks promises. ScottyFromMarketing at it again.
Ummmm…caretaker mode much?
CCS is a scam created by fossil fuel industry.
We Deserve A Better Future Please Don’t Vote Liberal Time for change
There would be an additional $3,000,000,000 available if the $0.22c/L fuel discount hadn’t been invoked.
Morrison has the cheque book wide open...
If all this is so important he has 10 years to do it. Too lazy or incompetent to deliver anything.
When will he be tried for climate crimes?
So ScoMo had promised $$ to the NT? Do we believe him after promising an ICAC? Can we ask him for more details? No. We can’t. He’s not taking questions any more….
They will need more than 14m to fight their own crime…
You know Australia needs more spent on health care, flood relief and lets not forget the fire relief..but no, what do we get? A fkwit handing out grants to gas companies who pay no tax that would help healthcare and the Australian people.
What should the headline be
Promises? Give me a break.
More money wasted on fossil fools
More cash for his big polluter mates
First mining, now has giants! 🙄 Meanwhile AustralianLabor have announced $$$ for improving Health in the Indigenous communities! 🤦
More subsidies to fossil fuel producers who pay a pittance in royalties
More taxpayer dollars to fossil fuel moguls… who many of whom don’t pay their share of tax either. Well done.
Oh that will be good for the economy and environment? But do u ask him where the money is coming from? Do u ask him how he’s managing the climate change issue? Do u ask him what happened with the Solomon Islands? Do u ask him how we got a trillion dollar debt?
If he doesn't answer questions, you don't print his announcements.
It’s amazing how ScoMo has plans with figures attached yet AnAl only has uncosted promises when they have had years to prepare.
Is there a marginal seat there… how about he starts rewarding the loyal voters?
Where's the money coming from. Where's the costing.
