The Spin

Narrative A

EnergyAustralia's belated admission of deception rings hollow without concrete action. An apology cannot undo years of misleading 400,000 customers while pumping millions of tonnes of emissions skyward. True accountability demands immediate, verifiable emissions cuts—not empty words from one of Australia's worst polluters seeking to salvage their tattered reputation.

Narrative B

EnergyAustralia's heartfelt admission marks a watershed moment—acknowledging that their "Go Neutral" scheme deceived 400,000 trusting customers while fossil fuels continued poisoning our atmosphere. This sincere apology, coupled with their pivot toward genuine decarbonization, offers genuine hope that corporate accountability can finally triumph over empty greenwashing promises.
