FULL INTERVIEW: Energy Minister Angus Taylor has denied 'cherry picking' statistics regarding carbon emissions.
The Energy Minister was criticised by Labor after claiming emissions have reduced over the last quarter, despite government figures showing total emissions rose by almost one per cent from September 2017 and September 2018. Mr Taylor says figures show emissions are going down in the latest quarter, and that Australia will meet its international obligations 'in a canter.

Are Australia's emissions going up or down? It depends who you askEnergy Minister Angus Taylor and Insiders host Barrie Cassidy were at odds on Sunday over whether emissions had fallen or not. So how can they both be right? What do you think ABC ? I am going to think positive and say all we need is 3 simular quarter's and it will be a good year. I am sick of the all the doom & gloom. The world's goverments will reduce co2, think positive. Why why why do news always insist on using pictures of Bayswater power station’s cooling towers to show emissions from coal? While water vapour is still a greenhouse issue, it’s not the emission you are trying to imply.
