Quick Climate Links: PM and Angus Taylor 'plan' to take Australia to the back of the pack

PM Scott Morrison (pictured) and his Energy and Emission Reductions Minister, Angus Taylor, have a plan, yes a plan to do nothing and take Australia to the back of the pack.

Their plan to take Australia to net-zero by 2050 was loaded with hollow rhetoric and little detail and so no hint of action.
