A bill will be introduced to commit Australia to reducing its emissions by 43 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030 when Parliament sits on July 26, Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris Bowen told the National Press Club.
The new centre-left Labor Party government expects EVs will account for 89 per cent of Australian new car sales by 2030. The new government has already officially informed the United Nations of Australia's more ambitious 2030 target than the previous conservative Liberal Party-led administration had pursued, a reduction of 26 per cent to 28 per cent."It's about certainty and stability, mainly for the business investment community," Bowen said.
Opposition leader Peter Dutton has ruled out his Liberal Party senators getting the Labor target through the upper chamber. Labor holds only 26 seats in the 76-seat Senate so needs outside help to pass its legislative agenda.
Canada and Australia are both left wing countries I have lived in. Both have awful immigration policies that have ruined their culture. The Aussies take it up the arse for the abo's & Canadians do likewise for the Indians and Eskimos. Both used to be great places but no more.
