Australia will sign up to US President Joe Biden’s global pledge to reduce methane emissions by 30 per cent over the decade but farmers are likely to be spared any legislated enforcement measures similar to New Zealand’s “burp tax”.
Multiple sources close to discussions between the government and industry say an announcement to commit to the global methane pledge is imminent…
If the only alternative is we have to de-stock, well – I don’t know what people are going to wear and I don’t know what they’re going to eat.” – Mark WootenThe Australian understands growing pressure from the Biden administration and South Pacific nations for Australia to embrace stronger climate change action on the world stage has influenced the Albanese government’s methane pledge position…
Victorian carbon neutral cattle and sheep farmer Mark Wootton said he was “slightly nervous” that the government would make the pledge binding.
“We haven’t got the tools in the toolbox to be able to do what we need to do now, so it might be putting the cart before the horse, so to speak,” Mr Wootton said.
By adopting net zero to avoid a battle, the LNP enabled this new front in the extremist left’s war on reality. Instead of dumping that policy, however, Peter Dutton persists with a quibbling tactic that leaves the false premise stand while he focuses on the “details.” This may impress the Morrisonian zombies on a Sky panel but it won’t rebuild the Coalition brand.
It’s stunning how quick the green left has been to throw Australians into the soylent grinder of the Lizard People.
How is it that carbonated and brewed drinks get a pass?
Note that Albanese has declared war on steaks and bacon on the orders of Joe Biden.
“you have no right to electricity, cars or t-bones:”
Actually, it’s worse, and far more sinister, because soon the plan is to deprive us of any right to food. Remember that the left are experts at man made famines, the ghosts of Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot loom large.
“Now watch as the net zero imbeciles of the LNP are logically obliged to sit this one out too.”
Yep.
You know, I believe there’s a lot of political capital to be made by putting the kibosh on this green hysteria but no one, apart from Donald Trump, has ever dared do so. Instead, most on the right have danced along to the Green music and they’ve paid for this…big time. Just look at Scumbag Morrison and Blob Johnson, how they capitulated to the left’s green hysteria and what ensued? They destroyed their political careers and have made their parties electorally irrelevant. It wasn’t electorates like Lindsay in Sydney’s west that the Liberals lost by grovelling to the Green pagan gods, no, no, no, it was Warringah, Wentworth, Mackellar, North Sydney, Goldstein, Curtin and Kooyong.
And Dutton, he could come out tomorrow and say that this whole climate cult is all madness, all lies, totally untrue and will destroy us. But he won’t because he’s a coward and this was proven last week when, on Sky News, he happily and merrily smeared CPAC attendees like myself as “extreme right”. Apparently, a certain Senator Bummingham from SA has Dutton’s ear. Well, if that’s the case, I won’t be voting Liberal anytime soon.
Kangaroos, meat pies and …
The wombats are gone, again.
Emu is a bit oily though.
Koala roasted by a climate change bushfire could be the go!
This is where the long road back must begin. It is a thankless task. It means being abused and pilloried for maybe two or three election cycles. But it’s the campaign that must be started and it must be won.
On the Voice too, obviously.
At this point, anyone who says that it’s just the incompetence and natural political cycles and not in any way a global conspiracy to impoverish a majority of the world’s population (but especially the West) has their head stuck in concrete.
Methane is bad, very baaaaaad.
So sit tight, everyone.
Dutton must rely on some believers for some of his numbers. I also expect that he is a little gun shy after the way Abbott was treated.
Personally, I am all in favour of insect and plant-based foods.
Chooks eat insects and seeds. They produce eggs, and later can be made into roast chicken. Cattle and sheep eat grass (which humans cannot digest), convert it to steaks and legs of lamb. All good!
Typical CL. no facts at all to back up his looney claim.
We only have a problem with electricity because we have been far too slow in moving towards renewables. they are far cheaper and reliable than intermittent power form coal fired power stations.
He has said nothing about cars so who knows.
Steaks??
you do know over half the methan eemissions in NZ come from cattle, sheep etc. In Australia it is less than 10%.
Over time they wil eat seaweed and problem solved.
Allow me to correct this sentence:
We only have a problem with electricity because we
have been far too slow in movingmoved towards ‘renewables.’Non Mentis
We only have a problem with electricity because we have been far too slow in moving towards renewables. they are far cheaper and reliable than intermittent power form (sic) coal fired power stations.
And yet, you have declined my challenge to take your home off the grid, and rely completely on solar cells, an EV and a household battery. Your reason: household batteries are not economical? Doesn’t that debunk your “far cheaper and more reliable” crap?
But, if you actually believe what you say, then why are you not demanding an immediate closure of all coal fired generators?
Over time they wil (sic) eat seaweed and problem solved.
Lead the way, by example. Enjoy your kelp.

Yes, I do believe that Dutton is an instinctive conservative but I’m wondering where his “ear” is. Despite numerous ALP/Green/GetUp attempts, he has long held onto his seat of Dickson for over 20 years now. In 2019, the aforementioned toxic muck threw buckets of money to try and displace him in Dickson and failed, and Labor again this year spent a lot of money trying, and once again failed. Dutton’s electorate of Dickson is no “Teal” seat, in fact it’s a seat which is more akin to an electorate like Lindsay in Sydney’s west. These are the electorates where the Liberals, if they had any nous, can grow. It is also electorates like Dickson and Lindsay where people will bear the brunt of the climate change scam. But, given his softly softly approach over the last few months, especially over the Voice, I’m beginning to wonder whether Dutton has the cojones, or maybe he’s just spending too much time listening to Bummingham and Leeser.
As to your point about “after the way Abbott was treated“. I agree, it was and remains disgraceful but until the centre right and right confront this progressive MSM bias and demonisation, particularly within their ABC, nothing, absolutely nothing, will change. There should be an iron clad dictate that no Liberal or National agrees to appear on such programmes as The Dumb and Q&A until they host balanced panels.
As an aside, and it is related, because from the beginning it was a political assassination, designed to bring down the Morrison government and it worked a treat because Morrison was so spineless, if Bruce Lehmann is found “not guilty” (and we must pray he is) then I expect Dutton and every Liberal and National to stand up in parliament and to apologise to him. They won’t of course.
As C.L. accurately wrote above…
“This is where the long road back must begin. It is a thankless task. It means being abused and pilloried for maybe two or three election cycles. But it’s the campaign that must be started and it must be won.”
Indeed. The Liberals and Nationals must stand firm about climate, ruinables, transgenderism, The Voice, the Republic, the party must rediscover Menzies’ principles. There’s an old adage but it’s remains a very good one, “When you stand for nothing, you fall for everything”, and this applies perfectly to the Liberal Party of Australia…particularly since 2013 (and yes, Abbott bears some blame too).
Anyway, must stop ranting!
Morrison is not really a conservative or even a right of centre politician. He’s a person who wanted power, like Trumble.
There is more chance with Dutton, the problem is, who will take it up to them, Farage style. The MSM has effectively sidelined every voice that might have a chance. While promoting far left idiocy as fact. A short review of the trampis loon’s contributions here will confirm that.
From The Oz…
“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. More”
Now this is chutzpah, coming from a mediocrity who was part of a government that decided to capitulate and follow the UK and other countries on “net zero emissions”. The Liberals and the Nationals, until they decide to grow a spine, are in no position to lecture Labor on following other countries.
Call him for what he really is. A Marxist. Why else would he sign us up for extreme Green-Left Net Zero madness.
Remind me again what Dutton achieved as a Minister in a “Liberal” Australian led Government.
As someone who is very familiar with trials of this exact thing, I would suggest you shut up and stop embarrassing yourself. Without sufficient scale, and ideally, substantial subsidy, the economics of methane reduction just aren’t there.
I will say though, that running 50,000 head on your place helps make the numbers work a fair bit better than the few hundred head of your typical family sized grazier.
And that seems to be the point of a lot of modern regulation. It will only leave the big corporates in place and we are all to end up subservient to The Man when it is all in place.
As Minister Dutton ended the French sub deal, and ditched the eurocopter. He deserves our eternal thanks just for those.
But.. you are only as good as your last job. So focus Mr Dutton!
One possible explanation, is that they were threatened with sanctions and trade isolation for not going down that path. I have no idea if that is actually what happened, but in that event, Morro would have had a poor negotiating hand given how he managed the China relationship.
His rationalisation that his government would do a sane implementation of said insanity would be consistent with someone having their arse handed to them and trying to make a silk purse out of a pigs scrotum.
I’m not making excuses for him either, he should have told them to shove it and then announced a series of hydro electric dams and nuclear reactor sites. While pointing out that hydro and nuclear both take up less productive land area than either solar or wind.
Why any country would follow Dementia Joe’s lead is beyond me.
I’d tell him where to go instead.
These are the class of people that planned and organised the food economy of the communist countries last century. Literal retards.
Everyone should be getting a little worried, we’re sailing very close to the wind with these lunatics at the helm. 1920 Ukraine had plenty of food until they were ordered not to produce it under an avalanche of legislation and futuristic “reforms” from the same Scientific Socialist(tm!) class of middle class retards that took over everything after the revolution.
…and he’d forget immediately and be back, spinning aimlessly in front of you in no time.
Oh and in news just in….
“Former Nationals Leader Barnaby Joyce has condemned the governments’ consideration of a methane reduction pledge, saying it amounts to “pledging away our sovereignty”.”
Umm…am I missing something? I’m pretty sure that Barnabus Beetroot Juice was part of a government that late last year “pledged away our sovereignty”?
“Everyone should be getting a little worried, we’re sailing very close to the wind with these lunatics at the helm. 1920 Ukraine had plenty of food until they were ordered not to produce it under an avalanche of legislation and futuristic “reforms” from the same Scientific Socialist(tm!) class of middle class retards that took over everything after the revolution.”
Yep.

A great ‘header’ by the way – “The Fart Of The Veal”.
Indeed.

It is impossible for Non Mentis to embarrass himself. That would require a degree of self-awareness which he does not possess.

Just further to this, I believe this is precisely what Klaus, the WEF and the UN are planning, mass starvation. They want to starve and kill half the planet and with the way it’s heading, they’re going to get their way.
Well, left wing government control over agriculture and food production has worked so successfully before, and didn’t lead to tens of millions dead, did it? (/sarc off)
I wouldn’t trust evil scum like Klaus Schwab, the WEF, and its acolytes (Trudeau, Ardern, etc.) with a child’s piggy bank.

A risky process. They will need to ensure that their army of security guards and their families (extended) are well fed, or someone will try a Valkyrie/von Stauffenberg or some disgruntled serfs will do a Hunger Games on them. Unlike the Soviet Union in the 1930s, enough people are aware of the world to ensure that the necessary Gulags will not be available in sufficient number.
And it they isolate themselves in a fortress somewhere until the dying is over, it will need to be well stocked, and have its own (nuclear) power, water supply and so much more that such elevated personalities never even think about in their cosseted lives.
That would make them literally just as bad as Hitler, if not worse.
The saddest part is that real folk are going to have to rise up and do the job that the criminals are projecting on to them.
Chicago.
I had a school mate that went to Chika-Go a sqillion years ago to conduct Australia-USA trade deals.
Business is leaving.
But “Michelle” and Barach live where?
“We only have a problem with electricity because we have been far too slow in moving towards renewables. they are far cheaper and reliable than intermittent power form coal fired power stations.”
Name one economy relying on wind & solar that has cheap and reliable power from those sources and I’m sold.
Some (not politicians and those pushing for RE) have done the sums on the amount of metals required to go all renewable energy and the figures are absolutely immense.
Mining would have to increase by more than 1000%
Albo’s minions can always co-ordinate it with Bandt, Hanson-Young and Steagall in that haven of emissions-cutters, the Qantas Chairman’s Lounge.
Maybe they can convene in Steggall’s twin turbo Porsche suv.
Indeed.

Sums it up pretty well – except those organisations are fronts for whomever is planning all this.
Politicians all round the world have been paid off / compromised to betray their own people.
When these politicians have done their dirty work, they will have proven themselves untrustworthy, and will be eliminated. Any wealth they have accumulated will be confiscated. Pity they don’t realise that…
I don’t believe that mass starvation is the intention of Klaus et al. No doubt they truly believe their ideas will lead to a better, wonderful utopian future.
The result of course, would be exactly as you describe.
No, no. Of course not. ‘Mass starvation’ is merely one means to the same end – after all, corpses do not need to eat, nor do they require resources.
They mean to “de-populate”, to save ‘Gaia’ of course (meaning: keeping all the goodies for themselves). What could be more noble than that?
They also have fraud, slavery, war, plague, and pestilence in their bag of tools, and have absolutely no qualms about using all of them, no matter who and how many suffer as a consequence.
We’ve scratched the surface now, and unsurprisingly, we find that today’s Ecofascists are really not at all different from last century’s – just better technology for propaganda distribution, and a slightly more pleasing coat of varnish (for the easily pleased).
The ecofascist movement is pretty much just a continuation of the Luddite movement, just better financed and with actual arguments to go along with the violence. They are even trying to rehabilitate the reputation of the actual Luddites by pretending that they ever tried to negotiate rather than just destroy stuff and stay in the technological stone age.
