ScoMo's net zero plan is a sham

Season 1, Ep. 87

As Scott Morrison jets off to the Glasgow COP26 Climate Change Conference, this week we take an in-depth look at his new Net Zero by 2050 plan announced this week and why it’s basically a sham. Also why does Barnaby Joyce love methane so much?


And to celebrate Halloween we’re excited to announce our regular contributor Stefan Pazur has a spooky new spin-off podcast coming soon! Boo!



Watch this episode on Youtube here:


News Fighters is a comedic look at the week in Australian news, media and political hypocrisy, hosted by ex-Tonightly and Chaser editor Dylan Behan.
