(In a conversation
of this dimension my thoughts mean nought, but despite that, just as Mathias
Cormann refuses to express confidence in Alan Finkel, I too refuse to express
any confidence in this ideologically blind politician who is obviously and
blatantly attacking the science that rejects his jobs and growth mantra, and
fanciful thinking – Robert McLean)

| Mathias Cormann - ideologically blind to the science that will tear his neoliberal dreams asunder. |
Mathias Cormann has refused to say if the Turnbull
government still has confidence in Dr Alan Finkel after the chief
scientist warned Australia would not meet its emissions reduction target under
the Paris agreement with current federal policy settings.
“Look at our track record,” Cormann told Sky News on Sunday.
“People thought that we couldn’t meet the 2020 emissions reduction target based
on our policy settings and indeed we are exceeding those targets.
“We are very confident that with our policy settings we are
able to meet the 2030 emissions reduction targets.”
Asked if he had lost faith in Finkel, given Finkel warned
clearly last week that the government’s policy settings had to change if it
wanted to meet its 2030 emissions reduction target under the Paris agreement,
Cormann said: “My answer is pretty self-evident.”
