Federal Coalition commits to dumping 2030 climate target as it pursues nuclear power (www.abc.net.au)

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".

So they don't want to get into government.

They won't have a path to 76 seats if they can't win back the Teal seats. Seems like they've given up on that, and they are trying to rally their right wing base in QLD just to keep hold of that region.

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
