"One-time Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce sought to dominate the first sitting
week of the current federal parliament by proposing a divisive plan to reverse
Australia’s net zero emissions target.
The campaign, backed by fellow former Nationals leader Michael McCormack, aims
to repeal what Joyce calls Australia’s “lunatic crusade” of net zero by 2050.
It comes as Opposition Leader Sussan Ley convenes a working group to set a way
forward on climate and energy policy following the Coalition’s historic
election defeat.
Meanwhile, the Albanese government is considering Australia’s next round of
emissions reduction targets. And scientists warn just three years remain for
the world to keep global warming below the vital 1.5°C threshold.
If Australia is to take meaningful climate action, federal parliament must
engage with the facts honestly and without distortion. So let’s take a closer
look at whether Joyce and McCormack’s latest claims withstand scrutiny."
