The government also allowed Barnaby Joyce’s repeal net zero bill to have another debate outing in the house – and it isn’t over yet – it has been adjourned for another sitting day.

Again, the government is doing this to show how much better it looks compared to the ‘opposition’ who want no climate action. Just like the heckling Anthony Albanese received at the News Corp bush summits helps to remind the media that there is only ‘so far’ the government can do on climate before facing opposition (even if that opposition is not rooted in anything other than feelpinions). The heckling is the point – it gives the government an excuse not to go further. Albanese, who is one of the smarter and most cunning political creatures in the parliament, would have counted on the heckling, to help bolster the government’s cause to the do the least amount possible, as it prepares to announce its 2035 target.
