Prime Minister Scott Morrison is facing increasing pressure from the nation’s largest businesses to reach a net zero emissions deal with the Nationals ahead of the COP-26 climate summit in Glasgow next month.
The Business Council of Australia will release a seven-point plan today outlining how the government can commit to a target and reduce emissions to benefit the economy.
New modelling suggests Australia should more than double its emission reduction target from 20 per cent to between 45 and 50 per cent with the view of achieving net zero by 2050.
Data from Deloitte Access Economics estimates reducing emissions could see the economy grow by $890 billion in the next 50 years, creating 195,000 jobs in the process.

Over the next 10 years China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam plan to build 600 coal power stations, but Australia will "save the planet" by closing the last 6 remaining in the country. Only an idiot like our Prime Minister would believe that stupidity, what it will "achieve" is the death of what litttle manufacturing Australia has and ensure we are even more dependent on an aggressive China forever. We have morons for "leaders" that care nothing for the economic future of Australia or its people.
Apparently the great overlord rupert and newscorp are changing tune – see Australian Newspaper articles today pushing the virtues of net zero!! Ha ha dickhead climate change deniers, your uninformed factless conspiracies and general BS's days are believed by nonone anymore 🤣🤣 time to grow up and accept science!!
One thing is 100% certain. No Australian person, will benefit from this energy change form. Welcome to the triple 2020 -2030 bottom line transformation. Economic-Social-Environmental, 3ple bottom line, perspectives / narratives. A New Fascist Approach. In oct 2021, we are already in it.We are Vax-living it
Who’s business leaders? 😅
A bunch of crap, When Liberal cities have Solar on every roof, When all government buildings have them on the roof, when all public parks have them row upon row I will still be wary. When the first Commercial airliner crosses from NY to London and San Fran to Sydney I will consider investing. In the meantime it's a bunchocrap
Only reason for climate policy is to reduce competition for large corporations at the expense of poor people.
China is the greatest polluter in the world, Australia’s pollution is a minuscule fraction of that. It will be like a drop in the ocean as far as curbing worldwide pollution. This is all about $ and owo control, it has nothing to do with curbing pollution.
Publicly name and shame these business leaders and start a mass campaign to boycott their products and services!
Hit them in their pocket!
Business leaders commit to getting trillions of dollars in tax money and grants to green new deals on paper…
Net zero in 2050 is the biggest scam of fascism ever….
It will destroy most people's freedom. Just know that i have seen the future….
You better no longer comply with what the globalists want.
Might get to zero emissions but no hope of getting to zero Bull-shit….
More propoganda lies.
What business owners – name them
Yes….of course the Business LEADERS (read Fat Cats made wealthy by
the Covidic-Charade) are pressuring the Prime Minister! Problem is, he has been "pressured" by so many other Elite Groups that he doesn't know whether he's Arthur or Martha! Our revered "Business Leaders" ONLY want Net Zero because they can see a fast buck in it!
Not content with the millions (and in some cases billions) they have amassed over the last 18 months …they now want second and third helpings…at the Aussie taxpayers' expense!
Pigs at the Trough🐷🐖🐷
business leaders winking at pm for him to cull their competition…

I hear the word target, if we don't breathe or fart, we'll hit the 🎯
Typical corporate pygmies. Conformist to a man and eager to show their woke credentials.
They’re happy to adopt a policy for which they themselves will bear little to no cost: the cost being disproportionately borne by the working class and the poor, who have none of the legal or economic means to avoid the huge impost this will make on utility bills and the general cost of living.
All TOGETHER NOW!!!!!

We need coal power plants and cheaper electricity bills. Stop exporting coals worldwide and use those amount for Australian.
This is where the corruption starts
Warning: FAKE NEWS
Business leaders pressuring our joke PM to take measures to destroy them. Ummmm BS. Does this putz ever tell the truth
What pressure? From Dudd and Turncoat? Climate change happens every day that's why its called the weather. The only true path to better energy consumption is 1 Nuclear and 2 rooftop solar. What do you want to pay $3000 a year or $600 a year for home power?

Business leaders need to STFU, nobody voted for them.
Absolute BS! Why would any business commit suicide by the climate change scam?
Lies, most big business not for these enormous costs they will incur.
Only politicians and china affiliated businesses will benefit at the taxpayers expense
Climate change. Pfft.
What business leaders in their right minds would want to have their energy supplies placed in jeopardy by going down this zero emissions path?
SkyPropaganda, name them……
Of course the largest businesses are, they can absorb the costs short term which will destroy small businesses and act as a barrier to new businesses.
