The move comes as the prime minister hopes to assert his government’s commitment to reducing emissions – ahead of the virtual talks with 40 world leaders later this week. The $565 million spend will build project-based international partnerships to help drive down emissions as well as generate up to 2500 jobs. The funding will be in addition to the recent $540 million dollar boost the government made into clean hydrogen and carbon capture technologies.
Let’s just wait and see if it is really clean energy being funded! I suspect the money will go to blue (not green) hydrogen and CCS technology that will only ever be a stop gap and a poor one at that!
I wonder how he’ll try to justify his disastrous plans for Australia’s gas industry when faced with the heavyweights in the debate? I hope they scare the pants off him! PS. Are those drag marks I see behind your heels Scomo? Always so little, so late.

Scott Morrison 'accentuated the positives' of climate policy at virtual summit | Sky News AustraliaPrime Minster Scott Morrison’s speech at the virtual US-hosted climate summit was in line with the government's strategy of “accentuating the positive” of Australia’s climate policy, says US Studies Centre CEO Simon Jackman.\n\nMr Jackman said this involved saying “the fact Australia didn’t leave' the Paris or Kyoto climate agreements but was “leaving the door for further announcements” for the Glasgow summit later this year.\n\n“It was about what I expected from the Australian prime minister as we all know the politics of climate change here in Australia; very, very fraught,” he told Sky News. \n\n“I think the prime minister, consistent with the strategy that has been the Australian government’s strategy since the election of the Biden administration, is to accentuate the positive.”\n ScottMorrisonMP ScottMorrisonMP Everybody who mattered, committed to a target. Scomo: “uhh...as soon as we can.” Just embarrassing. ScottMorrisonMP
