Finance Minister Simon Birmingham has denied suggestions the Nationals are deciding the government’s climate change policy.
Scott Morrison showed his Cabinet polling last week which had 80 per cent support for a net zero by 2050 emissions target – but support dropped significantly depending on how much respondents were told about the cost of setting a target. Ahead of the Nationals party room considering a net zero target this afternoon, Sky News can reveal the polling was part of the cabinet discussion around adopting the target last week.“We bring together people right across the country to be able to effectively consider all of the implications and issues.
“There’s no point pretending that there aren’t some parts of the Australian community who are concerned about the implications of these decisions but an important message to them is to understand that other nations are already making these commitments. “Other nations are already making decisions that will have impacts on Australia and that’s why we need to invest and position ourselves to make sure we can take advantage of opportunities.”
