Newly elected Labor government ‘heading further and faster to the left’

Sky News host Peta Credlin says it “didn’t take long” for the newly elected Labor government to change from what Prime Minister Anthony Albanese pitched during the campaign.

Ms Credlin said Mr Albanese said “all the right things” at the Quad meeting in Tokyo and turned a boat of asylum seekers back but has signalled the government is “headed further to the left and faster” than voters realised.

“You can be absolutely certain that – to push its bid for Australia to host next year’s UN climate conference – the new government will be offering to increase its emissions targets,” she said.

Ms Credlin said the Coaliton was responding to this by “moderate Liberals” accepting Labor’s 2050 and 2030 emissions targets – which would mean “basically no petrol or diesel vehicles beyond 2030”.

“Graham Lloyd, the Australian's environment editor confirmed today, up to 82 per cent of our power grid will be running on renewables, like it or not, in eight years’ time, making it more unreliable and costly, than ever before,” she said.
