11 May 2021 The Morrison government has delivered another federal budget that offers little support for Australia’s rapidly emerging clean energy sector, choosing instead to double down on its ‘gas fired’ agenda and pay major emitters to reduce their emissions. It’s another budget from the Coalition that will channel further public funds to the fossil fuel sector, particularly helping to grow the gas industry while letting major emitters off the hook, while almost entirely ignoring burgeoning wind, solar and storage technologies and entirely ignores electric vehicles. The government’s second post-Covid budget can largely be characterised as more taxpayer support for the fossil industry, as well as allocating more money for preparing for the symptoms of climate change.
