Morrison pledges not to ‘tax’ Australians to net zero by 2050
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has declared he “will not tax” Australians to net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Mr Morrison said the time has “not yet arrived” when the commitment can be made. “When I can tell you how we’ll get there, that’s when I’ll tell you when we’re going to get there,” he said. “We like to think that we can make these commitments and somehow they’ll just make their own way there.” The prime minister pointed out if the goal of getting the economy to net zero was not achieved by technology, the only other solution would be tax. “Tax. That’s the only other way to get there,” he said. “My commitment to Australians that I will not tax our way to net zero by 2050 is a very, very important one. “I will hold my faith to the Australian people on those issues.”
