Most thinking people could not fail to be alarmed by John Hewsonâs article about Australiaâs emissions targetsâ catastrophe. Scott Morrison is captive to both his backbench and the fossil fuel lobby he will continue to do nothing to address the issue (âEmissions verdict is catastrophicâ, January 28). To make matters worse, although the government is very vulnerable on its lack of a climate change policy, Anthony Albanese is ineffective in highlighting this failing and its consequences. Perhaps the only thing that will force our recalcitrant politicians to act is the likelihood of a carbon border tax being introduced by the EU and the inevitability that the USA will follow suit.
