Why the Coalition can’t be trusted on climate and energy

As the federal election draws near – the poll is set for this Saturday but more than two million people have already cast their vote – some polls tells us that climate change and energy rate as the most important issues for many voters.
An image that lives in the mind of voters - the then Federal
Treasurer, Scott Morrison in the parliament with a piece
 of coal telling others "It won't harm you".
Given that, it would seem astonishing that anyone remotely concerned about the efforts on climate change and energy policy would even consider voting for the Coalition, given the complete hash they made of the issues over the last six years.

What is most remarkable is that through three different prime ministers – Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull and Scott Morrison – the policies have barely changed from those set out under Abbott – the man who admitted that he thought climate science is crap.
