Reference :- Australia is about to lead the world with technology for adapting to climate change .

Reference :-    Our government is adamant  that Australia's  emission targets  have been set , and are not negotiable .  Instead, Mr Morrison wants investment  in new technology to help us adapt to climate change. .

Well Mr Morrison , sir ,  that should let you get away with doing nothing .  You have already spent over 5 billion quid on various grants , projects and subsidies that are hidden from public scrutiny .  That figure is similar to the amount you have pulled out of research funding for Universities .  To me that indicates a responsible attitude to budgeting .  Like when you tell kids on the NDIS that they cant get their wheelchairs quite yet , since the budget surplus is threatened and there are still lots of golf clubs in Tory electorates that need the restaurants revamped .

Do you remember  Mr Turnbull ?  He is the gentleman who patted you on the back and thanked you for your loyal support a few days before you took his job from him .   Well he shoveled 500 million  in the direction of a few mates , sans tender,  to save the barrier reef .  We haven't heard much about the reef since then , or the 500 million .   Perhaps it is because the reef has been saved and no longer features in the news since it is now pristine .

Anyway , if Mr Turnbull can pull a swifty like that to save his breeches in the polls , so can you .
Thankfully , as the New York Times recently informed us , Australia is now probably the most secretive democracy in the world .    That means you can pour a couple of billion into any pockets you choose , and simple say "  We have invested in developing new technology to address climate change . "     There will be no need for further elaboration  .   Perhaps you can find a few of those captains of industry who have saved the barrier reef , and slip them the cash in return for a few generous  donations ahead of the next election .     Mr Turnbull probably still has their mobile numbers , and they probably aren't all in the Cayman Islands just yet .

Don't forget to remind everybody that there will be plenty of jobs in the new technology , and that no jobs in the old technology will be lost .  It's the best of both worlds .
