Before the last election, Scott Morrison sorted electric cars. He said they would not tow boats, they would not tow trailers, so they would take our weekend away.
Now he wants us to start buying electric cars and driving them anywhere. But by removing any excise taxes and other government taxes that help make electric cars so expensive, this hatred of taxes will not make electric cars cheaper. He will not do anything to help build more charging points.
Marketing's Scotty defended this stupid and hypocritical nonsense. He said he was not against electric cars, he was just against the government telling people what to do. Really? Oops, thanks, Scotty. I personally will tell your finance ministers and finance ministers that I do not have to pay taxes now because your government will not tell me to do so.
In Rome and Glasgow, the prime minister mingled with some smart and climate-savvy world leaders back, but when talking with us it was like reading a children’s picture book: “Australians like their family cars, and farmers rely on their trusted ute and. ...Trucks and trains...carry goods from the coast." ("Scott Morrison Announces Australia's Electric Vehicle Program to Support Zero Emission Vehicles", November 9).
He also offers a vague but free market hope that individuals will only make the "right choice" as we move slowly towards the day when most people can afford electric cars. Although this type of information seems more relevant to promoting healthy food for school lunchboxes, it still shows that the “Australia Road” program will allow us to jump in the process of studying how to survive the deteriorating effects of Australia’s contribution to climate change. Overheated coal.
At the Glasgow Climate Summit, the elephant in the room-more like a mammoth in terms of its size-was not officially recognized, although its presence on the street outside was well known. In fact, on this platform, the huge impact of military spending on the climate has not been recognized-the subject is more like a sacred cow than a mammoth. The security of the country must be guaranteed by the military, which seems to have been accepted, and even other methods of discussion are too dangerous. Since the disintegration of the League of Nations, mainly assassinated by Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco, and the marginalization of the United Nations due to the differences that led to the Cold War, countries have decided that only weapons can guarantee our safety.
However, the huge carbon footprint of the modern military seems bound to frustrate efforts to keep the temperature rise at 1.5 degrees. The sacred cow became a dragon threatening to devour us.
I have been seeing complaints about the light rail, and have been thinking...what happened to the complaint about the New Kote Dam? Just like the light rail, there are constant complaints about costs and unnecessary.
No one seems to care anymore?
The reports "Morrison U-turn on Electric Vehicles" and "Australia Ranked Last in Climate Policy" (November 10, page 11) are juxtaposed, which aptly illustrates our government's attitude towards climate change— This is the biggest challenge ever. Modern people.
Mr. Morrison's changes to electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles are welcome, although it is too late. However, compared to Australia’s total carbon dioxide emissions, Australia’s electric vehicles have minimal impact on the climate-even if most vehicles are not “fossil fuels”.
Australia must raise its emission reduction ambitions as a matter of urgency.
If your correspondent Alan May (letter, November 9) really wants an answer, it is that the last interglacial period was about 2 degrees higher than the one we are currently in. In fact, an important and crucial difference is that we reached that 2 degree in about 2000 years, rather than the more than 200 years we have experienced now. The year 2000 gave corals enough time to adapt, or to keep cities away from rising sea levels. All these details are in one book, and if Alan wishes to contact me, I will be happy to lend it to him.
free. choose. No government authorization. Prime Minister Morrison’s new mantra on electric vehicles. Does this spell of freedom and choice also apply to everyone who already holds the shocking Indue card, and the millions of pensioners who are about to discover that they have no choice or freedom when they spend their money? all?
Keith Hill is right. We need to “save our national reputation” and vote for the government (Australia's Way, Letters, November 9). Buying electric cars or installing solar panels on the roof is essential for voting for coalition governments that are so closely connected with the fossil fuel industry It’s trivial. Putting people in our parliament who understand and accept climate science and feel the urgency is the best way to reduce emissions and restore Australia’s international reputation. It’s not so much the "Australian way" of the Morrison government. , "Gave way" in the next election.
I see that our prime minister, who has always been confident, is now promoting a business-first approach to climate change. I want to know whether these companies will be the same as the companies that the alliance provides millions of dollars in JobKeeper subsidies-companies that do not require subsidies are not even eligible for subsidies in some cases.
I want to know when Scotty from Services will announce his "robodebt 3" plan to send fine notices to thousands of ordinary Australians, asking them to pay huge fines or to prove that they are not emitting carbon dioxide.
In order to balance journalism and give peace a chance, do I suggest that your paper also presents views on the current state of Australia-China relations, instead of peddling and propagating the belligerent, tough, war-spreading, and war-promoting stance Bradley Pere Mr. Reiter in his works?
In a world suffering from anxiety and stress due to climate change, religious conflicts, epidemics, poverty, overpopulation, famine, and resource reduction (to name a few of the life-threatening problems that plague our poor planet), we can do Well done not to irresponsibly provoke conflicts with global self-destructive potential.
I want to submit my bid for Quibble this week. As my wife, Kirsten Lawson's comments on Ondine (Food and Wine, Tuesday, November 9th) caught my attention and I am as passionate about this hotel as she is. Her opening paragraph called for the "strange cycle" and "déjà vu" that appeared there a year and two weeks after her last visit (my emphasis). Sorry Kirsten, but adding two weeks will eliminate all meaning of "to today". Try to say "a year and fourteen days until today" and you will understand what I mean.
Nonetheless, this is a good review and we are looking forward to our lunch reservations on Friday the 26th of this month.
Alex Mattea, (letter, November 8) assumes that "alienation and dissatisfaction with government authority...to COVID-19 management" is missing in "drowsy, malleable, indifferent, and conformist Canberra" of.
The Sydney native’s message is that Canberra is now vaccinated with more than 95% of the vaccines because most Canberraians follow medical advice on social distancing, wearing masks, using registration apps, etc.
Is it easy to reach that milestone? no way! However, most residents of the Capital Territory are keenly aware of the consequences of ignoring this recommendation. We must not only consider personal well-being, but also the well-being of our family, friends and neighbors.
Judging from the consequences, perhaps Canberra's IQ level is higher than the thousands of idiots marching in Sydney and Melbourne, because their "human rights" have been "violated" by having to wear masks and so on.
After the pandemic reached the capital territory in 2020, 3 people died. For more than 12 months, there was no record of infection here, until a person decided to visit a hot spot in Sydney and brought the virus back in August.
I have lived in Canberra since 1964, left Albury to study at the Australian National University and fell in love with the city.
I hate those who keep downing Canberra.
I told the Prime Minister that I will not be taught about electric cars by this person. I will not. Not now, nor will it be in the future.
Regarding the previous accusation of vilification of electric cars by Scotty and his partners: I think they are guilty.
The fringe voters who come to your neighborhood are LNP's election ScoMomobile. Features include pork barrel carburetor, company brakes, brown envelope secret storage room, coal, oil or natural gas power plant selection, and U-turn steering. The electric model is still on the drawing board. It is expected to be sometime after 2050.
In the old days
When men are bold
Canberra tram is not invented
This is a problem solved!
All tram passengers are requested to bring Mig Welder.
Anne O'Hara repeated the often asserted but never documented truth that the government subsidizes the fossil fuel industry. Given that the Productivity Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Finance have independently stated that any such subsidies are negligible, perhaps she and others wish to specify and quantify these so-called "subsidies."
The Australian way is not to stab our partner in the back.
On November 9th, our Bichon frize was very excited about the prospect of his daily strolling place in Letters as a marketing for Canberra's Paris district.
The Minister of Public Service (also known as "Mini Me Morrison") appeared prominently in the Canberra Times for two consecutive days, accusing the Labour Party of politicizing public service and the electoral process simply because it raised obvious questions.
Re Rosemary Walters ("Male Victims Are Important", Express, November 9), from a mature man who is frustrated with the "male bashing" and related hypocrisy that continues to appear today-thank you.
Why does Mr. Barr ask the federal government for more money for our hospital when he cannot spend his years of budget? We learned on Monday that to destroy City Hill, it may be difficult to obtain 60,000 cubic meters of earth. At the same time, back to the tram station, there may be some cracks in the rolling stock.
