It's like we live in a movie — everything around us is fake.

Everyone knows Australia won't meet the fantasy 2030 target of a 43% reduction in carbon emissions, so there's a flying-pop-tarts chance of us reaching an even higher one by 2035. Renewables investment is down 65%, farmers hate the transmission lines, offshore wind has stalled, and green hydrogen has collapsed, and yet the Labor Government is about to take the impossible and double it up. They are singing a reduction tune supposedly between 65 to 75%. Ludicrous, either way.

To make matters more absurd, not only will it not change the temperature in any measurable way, but the Australian people don't want a higher target, and the Labor Party know that. If they thought it had any appeal, they would have sung hallelujah about the new target before the election, but they delayed it instead because they knew the voters would hate it.

Added to that, none of the Labor or Green politicians even seem to believe the scare themselves. It they did, they would have campaigned for nuclear plants 15 years ago, to save the world. Instead, NASA will get a nuclear plant on the moon before we build one in Australia. But we all "love The Science", right?

If hypothetically, this whole charade was being fuel-injected from a foreign country trying to sabotage Australia, it might look like this.

The Government has never told us what the magic fairy cake of Net Zero will cost

It's like buying a house and you don't know the price.

For some reason the Business Council of Australia (BCA) is adding up what the Treasury can't or won't — and they calculate that a target of 70% by 2035 would *only* cost $530 billion dollars. This bargain deal, ladies and gentlemen, is just $18,000 a person, or nearly $80,000 from a family of four. Perhaps you'd like to vote on that? Nevermind.

The Business Council members include at least five banks, three tech giants, Google, Microsoft, and Meta, and many universities. All in all, the BCA  is a walking-talking lobbying team for any Blob Subsidy Train. The universities dine on the grants, and the bankers have sunk "investment" in renewables, or they want to curry favor with the Chinese Communist Party, who want Australia to buy their surplus of solar panels, and wind turbines, and EVs.
