The federal Coalition confirms it will dump Australia's commitment to reduce emissions by 43 per cent by 2030, arguing the target is unachievable.
  • In short: The Coalition says Labor will fail to meet the Paris Agreement emissions reductions target but will damage Australian industry in trying.
  • Recent projections indicate Australia is not on track for the 2030 target, but could get close if existing policies are implemented as promised.
  • What next? The Coalition is focusing on gas and nuclear power, which the Australian Conservation Foundation describes as a “fantasy which Australia does not need”.

    I sometimes wonder if more Liberal electorates might move to Teals? They can look at track record in other Teal seats now.

    Meh, but I guess that would require knowledgeable, interested voters, instead of watching Yell at the Sky News lol

      If the Teals have the funding behind them of course, but because they are not an organised party, it would be difficult for them to run a campaign and gather enough support.

      2022 was very good for the independents, but overall, that’s not a common result. The Teals pretty much fill the vacuum between Labour’s centre right MPs, and Dutton’s wacky right wingers
