Source: Morrison government seeks to divide Labor and unions over emissions | Australia news | The Guardian The Morrison government, which is battling a persistent internal fracture on energy policy, is attempting to foment divisions between Labor and the union movement over the opposition’s 45% emissions reduction target in the run up to the election. The energy minister Angus Taylor, has written to trade union leaders claiming the 45% economy-wide emissions reduction target will lead to wages being cut by $9,000. The source for Taylor’s claim is a summary of as yet unreleased modelling by BAEconomics about the impact of the 45% target, which was handed to The Australian newspaper in late February. The summary of the unreleased modelling says the government’s target of 26-28% emissions reduction by 2030 will reduce average real annual income for a full-time worker by around $2,000. Under the high target, the summary points to a projected fall in real annual wages of “around $9,000 per year by 2030”. . . . Bob Wilson
It has an Aussie-English speaking population. Rupert Murdoch from Australia has corrupted pretty much everywhere he has gone. Australia has a 'tribal' history of racism similar to ours. This is the first time where we are seeing the Murdoch crime family being effectively fought. IMHO, we may find usable techniques to use locally. If you feel foolish discussing a subject, silence will preserve, not remove, any doubt. Bob Wilson
