Labor locks in goal of net zero emissions by 2050, opposition to new coal

Federal Labor has adopted a goal of net zero emissions by 2050 as party leader Anthony Albanese seeks to shift away from the climate wars.

The party's emissions reduction and renewable energy targets were given a whacking by Prime Minister Scott Morrison during last year's election campaign, and Labor's been quiet on it since."This should be as non-controversial in Australia as it is in most nations," he will say.

The Labor leader will also rule out out ­financial support for new coal-fired power stations and using so-called carryover credits from past emissions reduction targets towards current or future goals.The Morrison government is planning to use such credits from the Kyoto agreement towards the Paris target, of a 26 to 28 per cent reduction on 2005 emissions levels by 2030."A Labor government will never use Kyoto carryover credits.

Where do you get 'much anticipated' from? Labourgreens are just not relevant in the real world, in fact they are taking us backwards if anything. Cringe.

Just fucking pay for everyone to have solar with batteries. Stop scabbing the cost - just do it.

Political suicide 👋👋

LOL 2050. He saying that cause he will be dead or retired by that time and won't care if it turns out total BS.

He won’t be here in 2050 I’m afraid.

People on their iPhones demanding zero emissions 😂😂

You'd have to stop breathing for net zero emissions

We will have to do better than that. Why do we have such inspirationally average politicians? Are they a reflection of the disengaged inspirationally average Australian voter

'net zero emissions' Be prepared to be booted off your land, give up all your private property, privacy and freedom, all for the sake of saving the planet from a crisis that only exists within computer models. The crisis is a lie, but the consequences are very real. Agenda2030

2050? 😳 It'll be too late - we just lives, most of our bushland in 8 months, 1000's buildings & over 1 billion animals... We haven't got 30 years to play with if we don't want to lose Australia 🌏🔥
