Coalition propose plan to expose companies 'virtue signaling' about climate change
Sky News host Rowan Dean says Energy Minister Angus Taylor is proposing a policy to expose companies which are virtue signaling about climate action without a proper plan. An article released by The Australian suggested the Energy Minister was planning on naming and shaming companies without a plan for reaching net zero, however Mr Dean said Mr Taylor had since clarified he was proposing the opposite of what The Australian reported. What hes saying is its not about naming and shaming companies for not reaching net zero, its naming and shaming companies virtue signaling ... about getting to net zero by 2030 or 2050 and yet its pure fabrication," Mr Dean said. Angus point is this puts ridiculous pressure on the government when all these different companies are coming out and saying were going to get to net zero with no idea how to. If youve got a plan to get there great let everybody know the plan but if not shut up and stop virtue signaling." Sky News host Rita Panahi said, if the journalists are misunderstanding it perhaps the companies are misunderstanding it and thinking we need to be even more green. She highlighted the importance of a clear, cohesive message being presented to the public so companies did not receive the wrong impression. Read More Our Apps
