Hilarious, scathing responses to Morrison’s ‘bullsh*t’ plan

Australians are overjoyed at the Morrison government’s strong, detailed plan to get the nation to net zero by 2050… nah, just kidding. In the last 24 hours, the internet has erupted with criticism, scolding everything from the plan’s font, to its copyright date, and mind bogglingly vacancy. Here are some of the best reactions so far…

Described as Abbott’s re-heated homework from 2015, the Morrison government’s wildly overdue net zero 2050 plan will see Australia front up to the global climate summit in Glasgow next week holding little more than a printed prayer. The limp emissions reduction “plan” comes in spite of overwhelming support from voters, nearly a decade in power, and fresh backing from the Murdoch media.

Australians are ecstatic:

"Angela, he held up a printed glossy pamphlet of a PowerPoint slide presentation for the cameras! He kept saying 'plan plan plan—we have—I have—a plan' over and over again, BUT IT WAS ONLY A PAMPHLET OF A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION WITH A MISSION STATEMENT IN IT!" #auspol #NetZero pic.twitter.com/yHX0oszmc0

I like the fact that the copyright notice on “Australia’s long term emissions reduction plan” is 2020. The government has been sitting in this for some time!

🇬🇧 UK 2050 plan? 21 docs. 1868 pages. Heat & building strategy. Heat pump grants. EV incentives. End gas boilers by 2035, ICE sales by 2030! Treasury reviewed. CCC approved. Pathways for every sector to 2037. Legally binding. 5 year targets.
🇦🇺 Aus? No plan. Just more bullshit.

Ok. I read all 129 pages of the pamphlet. Its not worth the paper I didn’t print it on.
I understand technology damn well. This isn’t a “technology driven approach”. It’s inaction, misdirection & avoiding choices.
I’m going to bed. This is just ridiculously embarrassing.

This is not a plan to get to net zero. This is a set of assumptions – with nothing to underpin them released today – of what might happen because of technology.

Mouthing the word “plan” 33 times can’t hide the fact after 8 years in power the Liberals have no plan to respond to climate change, and no interest in having a plan. pic.twitter.com/rNvAcgty9A

Scott Morrison finally unveils his net zero plan with:
Zero detail
Zero modelling
Zero new info
Does he seriously think Australians will fall for his scam?
