Scott Morrison to reboot Tony Abbott's emissions reduction fund with $2bn

PM to announce 'climate solutions fund' to appeal to voters concerned about Coalition's record

Scott Morrison will attempt to appeal to voters deeply concerned that the Coalition have been been wreckers on climate change by rebadging Tony Abbott's emissions reduction fund as a "climate solutions" fund - with $2bn to be rolled out over 10 years.

Attempting to draw a line over years of destructive in-fighting within the Coalition that has cruelled various emissions reduction policies, the prime minister will use a speech in Melbourne on Monday to launch a new package of measures on climate change, saying his government acknowledges and accepts the challenge "but we do so with cool heads, not just impassioned hearts".
