Already a subscriber?Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says a Coalition government will dump Australia’s legally binding climate target to cut emissions by 43 per cent from 2005 levels by 2030.
“At the moment, the countries outside the Paris Accord are Libya, Yemen and Iran. Is Mr Dutton proposing to take Australia into that company now,” Mr Bowen asked.the government’s renewables goal was unattainable and “there’s no sense in signing up to targets you don’t have any prospect of achieving”.nuclear power must be deployed to replace fossil fuels.
“Mr Dutton’s plans would be an international disgrace and it would trash our relationships with key allies who are depending on Australia to adhere to keeping 1.5 degrees alive,” Australian Conservation Foundation chief executive Kelly O’Shanasy said. “Dutton’s climate policy is a disaster, and the consequence for Australians would be more extreme heat, fires and floods,” she said.
