The header to this thread should also include "backtrack" Bowen. One backtrack after another from this zealot. Scaled back the EV mandate coz blind freddy could see this EV arrogant zealotry could not be realistically implemented in the time frame he wanted. One after the other backtracks. Remember his franking credits debacle, it contributed significantly to Labor losing that particular election with the idiotic statement that if " if you dont like it then dont vote for us" . Sheer arrogance. Which is exactly what happened in the vote with that huge demographic of baby boomers that rely substantially on franking credits for some of their income ( self included) . Sheer unadulterated arrogance. So that was backtracked and Chalmers who replaced his role after that says we wont be touching franking credits. And the Bowen backtrack on fast-tracking fossil fuels being phased out within some ludicrous timeframe. Now reality has bitten and the the need to extend the life of coal fired plants and also turn to gas as a transition fuel. Backtrack after backtrack. I could list more backtracks caused by, or self inflicted, by Bowen. All due to a single minded zealotry approach to issues which by their nature of being extremist positions he takes eventually come unglued. He is without doubt a great asset for the Libs giving them so much ammo for the next election. One can only wonder what new extremist stance he will take on with zealotry passion with the inevitable crash back to Earth.
