Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison appears to be finally showing some backbone, in the face of outrageous UN demands he gut the Australian economy by halting all coal and fossil fuel exports.
‘No blank cheque’ on net zero carbon emissions target, Prime Minister says, as global ‘code red’ issued
By political reporter Jake Evans
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has again refused to commit to a target of net zero emissions by 2050, after an international “code red” warning on climate change was issued by global leaders.
Key points:
- Scientists warn catastrophic warming is set to occur this decade
- The Prime Minister says the government will continue to use technology to address the issue, not a carbon tax
- He has refused to commit to a legislated net zero emissions target
“I won’t be signing a blank cheque on behalf of Australians to targets without plans,” Mr Morrison said.
“Blank cheque commitments you always end up paying for, and you always end up paying in higher taxes.”

I want to support Scott Morrison, but sadly in my opinion he frequently disappoints, appears to try to play both sides.
I applaud Scott Morrison’s spirited public defence of Australia’s economy, but if he tries to make a backdoor deal, to appease greens by introducing even harsher climate action measures, that could be almost as damaging to the Australian economy as the outright end to fossil fuels demanded by the United Nations.
Let us hope that on this occasion at least PM Scott Morrison maintains his firm opposition to economically suicidal climate demands from globalists.
“I won’t be signing a blank cheque”Why not? You and your kind was handing out money for this nonsense for decades now!
None of these globalist fools can do anything about climate change. It’s dam well past time to make these idiots own their crazy ludicrous ideas. They must stop their totalitarian plans to force us to pay to reduce a nonexistent threat!!
Morrison needs a lot of support. If there is a silent majority, they have to find a backbone and take their country back from Eurocentric globalist elite néomarxistes. Match protests with the useful fools ready to hand over sovereignty.
Hope Morrison sticks by his word . .
If he doesn’t he will get rolled, it’s not about the politicians but how people will vote. At the end of the day Australian emissions are so small that what we do does not matter and that fact is not lost on the voters. It is not material if a voter believes in climate change or not the basic question comes down to am I going to bankrupt myself on a pointless gesture.
