Division has emerged in Labor ranks over climate action, with one frontbencher calling on the party to match the government's climate change target. Shadow Resources Minister Joel Fitzgibbon will use a speech in Sydney on Wednesday night to call on his colleagues to endorse the Coalition's 2030 emissions reduction target.
Mr Fitzgibbon will argue the party should aim to reduce carbon emissions by 28 per cent of 2005 levels within 11 years. Energy Minister Angus Taylor has seized on the call, saying Labor was “now clearly recognising the error of their ways.” “Labor went to the last election with a 45 percent emission reduction target which was going to slash jobs, slash wages, and slash the economy,” Mr Taylor said.
This useless LNP Gov HAS NO PLAN. auspol
No division! Once again when Labor have a discussion it called division. When the LNP have a discussion it’s called an inquiry!! Double standards?
Hardly a 'division'!
