CLEAR WEATHER FALLOUT 4 UPDATE

The government has committed to reaching net zeroВ by 2050, and says it is on track to beat its 2030 emissions targets. When they meet their constituents, they are not able to produce the suite of benefits they obtained in return for their policy sign-up. More importantly from the Nationals' standpoint, they're left exposed as they return to their electorates now parliament has risen for a three-week break. That shows how unsatisfactory the process has been - the government had months to deal with net zero, settling things with the minor Coalition partner and finalising the trade-offs.

Some of these unknown measures still have to be brought forward as cabinet submissions and go through the formal bureaucratic hoops, including being costed.

Joyce, who became Acting Prime Minister after Morrison departed on Thursday night for the G20 in Rome followed by COP26 in Glasgow, is likely to announce certain measures while he's in the spotlight.Д«ut others are to be in the budget update at the end of the year, presented as election commitments, or in next year's budget if that occurs before the election. Meanwhile, most of the trade-offs the Nationals have received for their reluctant support continue to remain a mystery. The deal between the Nationals and the Liberals to secure a net zero emissions by 2050 target is mostly under wraps, but this is what we know about it so far and when we'll know more. 'But the write-up of that - we just need to take a little bit of extra time to make sure that it's written clearly and able to be presented well to the Australian public,' Jo Evans, a deputy secretary in the department, said.

The actual modelling, of course, had been finalised at that point. 'As the plan was only finalised on Tuesday, we need to make sure we have written that technical work up. Delays, flaws and inadequaciesДЄn industry department official told a Senate estimates committee the material was being put into digestible shape. Much doubt has been created by the government's failure to release the plan's modelling, which Morrison says will be out in a few weeks - that is, after COP26 is well and truly behind him. Who gets political 'branding rights' on the treatment of methane was just the latest pinch point in the fallout from Tuesday's announcement. He also rejected Joyce's confusing claim there was an agriculture carve-out from the climate plan. Later on Thursday, Morrison said the government never had any intention of agreeing to the reduction. Taylor apparently had been onto the methane exclusion issue for some time. Most of the trade-offs the Nationals received for their support of the government's net zero planВ remain a mystery.
