The Coalition is hesitant to outline any new policies for cutting Australia's greenhouse gas emissions in the coming decade, while simultaneously pledging to reverse climate measures initiated under Labor. Peter Dutton faced criticism for contradictions regarding acceptance of climate science. Experts assert that the Coalition's current strategy would increase fossil fuel use, impede progress towards the net zero emissions goal by 2050, and damage Australia’s international reputation on climate action. They argue that without definitive policies, the country's commitment to reducing emissions effectively becomes meaningless.
Dutton's responses on climate posed contradictions; while pledging net zero by 2050, policies would push Australia towards increased fossil fuel use, exacerbating emissions.
Experts caution that the Coalition's approach is regressive, with past measures being unwound, risking international standing, and endangering future emissions targets.
