Littlebrain botches energy crisis path to power

These guys are beyond the pale stupid and corrupt:

Nationals MP David Littleproud, pictured above, has called on Labor to assure farmers it would not follow a New Zealand style methane tax, warning the “Aussie BBQ is now under threat”.

The warnings come after The Australian revealed on Thursday the government will sign up to US President Joe Biden’s global pledge to reduce methane emissions by 30 per cent over the decade.
While farmers are likely to be spared any legislated enforcement measures similar to New Zealand’s “burp tax”, Mr Littleproud said Labour “couldn’t be trusted”.

“Australians are already hurting with petrol prices, electricity prices and food prices,” Mr Littleproud said.

What is your solution to the energy crisis, Littlebrain? The shadow cabinet keeps bleating about the energy price shock but when it comes to actual answers it is just as bad as Albo’s cowards.

There has been no reckoning for the failed NEG; ADGSM; ARENA; gas-led recovery or the total failure to accelerate renewable firming power.

Today we have the Resources Minister, Mad King, who recently signed a national policy document written by the energy cartels to govern themselves, and then fled on a gas junket to an oil platform to avoid questioning.

In response, we have this opposition dill waxing about farts, burbs, and BBQs.

Why isn’t the opposition going after the energy issue properly given it has the seeds within it of re-election in three years?

Because they are even more captured by the energy cartels.

Needless to say, Canberra is very, very sick.
