Impact of a Labor/Greens/Teal parliament

[sptrawler]

So the "climate bill" got passed through parliament and is now legislation/law to reduce emissions by at least 43% by 2030 & to pursue a net zero target by 2050

Climate bill passes parliament, making 43 per cent reduction target law

The federal government's landmark climate bill passes parliament with the help of the Greens, Jacqui Lambie Network and David Pocock.

Does anyone know what penalties are in place if we don't achieve the legislated targets, or is it just a random figure plucked out of the air, to appease certain sectors ?
It will be interesting to watch how we are tracking over the next three years IMO, because after that period, we only have a further five years to achieve it.

That's a very good question.

Could a future PM be charged with breaking the law if the targets are not achieved ?

I think it's more likely that if it looks like the target won't be achieved the PM will simply change the law.

Same as the penalties for violating the debt ceiling laws.... Non-Existent and irrelevant.

Government of the day will just change or scrap the laws if there is ever an issue.

Getting a special holiday for the Queen.
That wouldn't have happened with the Coalition.
With the Victorian Footy holiday I will get a 4 day weekend. ?

I don't know what you have to complain about, you got months off with covid lockdowns, that happened with the coalition.

Nothing to complain of personally. I worked pretty hard during the lockdowns, sad for the businesses that didn't make it though.
Just saying I don't think the coalition would have given the extra holiday though I suppose Menzies would have. not sure my boss is as happy about it as me.

Nicolette Boele, the teal independent challenger for the Liberal-held seat of Bradfield, has apologised for making a sexualised comment to a 19-year-old staff member at a hair salon.

Ms Boele was banned from her local hairdresser, Envy Room salon in Gordon, after she told the teenager after having her hair washed, “that was amazing, and I didn’t even have sex with you”, 2GB’s Ben Fordham reported on Tuesday morning.

.... looking good is one thing, off to the salon for some grooming had a new spin to it

Indeed ! Reminds of the (countless) number of times someone in an office has said "Who do I have to xuck to get a cup of coffee? "
Nicolette has far too much spunk for her age.

I don't even want to think about the sort "sexualised rubbish" that would come out of the gobs of Lib/National/Labour Party reps. But clearly Ben Fordham is going to be chasing these all down... at least if the are in the wrong Party

I guess, as long as there is a happy ending, no one's going to get too upset.
It is only a hair wash after all.

Yeah, but can you imagine if an LNP candidate said the same to a teenage girl?

Who xucking "blamed" anyone ?

No one has any idea from the reported story of just how seriously the comment went down.
Was it tacky and offcolour ? Sure. And clearly Nicolette Beal decided on an apology for any offence taken because clearly someone did.

My point was recognising how every politician male /female/ all parties would be guilty of similar comments. And pointing out that Ben Fordham would only be looking for examples like Nicolette Beal to make a story because that is the way 2GB rolls

Drop your nasty comments Dona. It's tacky and unnecessary.
