Sky News host Rowan Dean says Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese has “rolled the dice on the ultimate political gamble,” following the announcement of Labor’s target of net-zero emissions by 2050. Mr Dean said the Labor leader “has tied his future and the future of the once proud Labor Party, not to economic prosperity, not to helping the disadvantaged, not to improving the health of the elderly and the poor”.
“Not to raising the education standards of our schools so that those being born today can look forward to competing and beating those overseas kids who are desperate to steal their jobs, no, not one of those things”. Instead, Mr Dean said, “Albo has tied the future of the Labor Party to the weather”. “Bizarrely, for years the left has been adamant that climate and the weather are two very separate things … not anymore”.
