Peter Dutton says the Coalition will wait until it has returned to power and looked at 'the prevailing economic conditions' before it sets a 2030 climate target.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says the Coalition will not set a 2030 climate target before the next election.
On Saturday, the opposition leader said he would campaign against Labor's legislated target to reduce emissions by 43 per cent by 2030, arguing it was not achievable. "In terms of the targets or otherwise, we'll make those decisions when we're in government," he said. The Coalition has not outlined any alternative short-term policies to reduce emissions. However, it opposed Labor's vehicle efficiency standard and its emissions-capping scheme for large industrial emitters.
" next round of forecasts before the end of the year will obviously show the impact of what we've announced update on how we're going with the implementation," he said.
