Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has assured his troops he will support a 2030 climate target more ambitious than Scott Morrison took to the election this year, Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says.
“But says he will not back legislation supporting Labor’s 43 per cent emissions reduction target this week because it is a ‘stunt’, Coalition sources have told Sky News,” Mr Clennell said.
“Party room sources say three Liberal MPs in the Coalition party room expressed concern at not backing the government 43 per cent emissions target: Bridget Archer, James Stevens and Andrew Bragg.”
