The National Party of Australia dumped its Net Zero policy as Australia is moving too fast, & faster than its peers in the OECD.
Well, fossil CO2 emissions in the last 10 years have gone down

If Labor approves the 50 year extension of the North West Shelf gas export plant, brace yourselves for the spin about how we need it because of a 'shortage' of gas.
WA is awash with gas. 90% of it is exported.
Approving the NWS extension will be a boon for big gas & a bust for West Australians.
