"In an interview on ABC’s
Radio National, opposition energy spokesperson Ted
O’Brien made this claim:
“Under the former Coalition government, you saw emissions fall. Emissions in
Australia are often talked about in the context of comparing to 2005 levels.
Under the last Coalition government they went from 12% below 2005 levels down
to 29%. Labor have been in office for three years now, they’ve flatlined. They
haven’t budged. They came in after the success of consecutive years of
emissions reductions under the Coalition, and Labor have failed. It’s
flatlined. So any suggestion that the Coalition is not going to do more than
Labor on emissions reductions? It doesn’t match up with the past performance
whatsoever.”
You won’t be surprised to learn that I maintain a data set of Australia’s
historical emissions data marked out by political party, precisely for these
types of moments."
