What's even stranger, is how the Govt is now pouring money into the private sector to convert to renewables and it is exactly the issue they had with Abbott, when he suggested it in 2014.Strange how everything has done a complete 180 degree turn.Abbott cancelled the carbon tax (which has never really taken off anyway) in favour of assisting heavy emmitting businesses to clean their processes and he was absolutely trashed for suggesting it. LolNow we have Govt's paying coal generators to stay running and smelters getting huge handouts and it's a Labor initiative.Not that I think it's wrong, just that it shows how hypocritical the whole situation is becoming.[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/feb/25/scott-morrison-to-reboot-tony-abbotts-emissions-reduction-fund-with-2bn[/URL]The emissions reduction fund is a vestige of Abbott’s heavily criticised Direct Action policy. Funded by taxpayers initially at $2.5bn, the ERF pays farmers and businesses to cut carbon dioxide pollution to below what it would otherwise be. But an investigation by Guardian Australia last year found it was often difficult to determine if the fund was offering value for money.
