'What’s in our country’s best interest?': Dutton slams Albanese's 2030 emissions targ

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says there is “no prospect” the government will reach its 2030 emissions target. This comes amid the Coalition announcing there will be no new 2030 climate targets revealed until the next election. “They introduced a bill which is now a law to increase the price of cars by about $10,000 to help them achieve the 43 per cent target – they’re still not going to get there anyway,” Mr Dutton told Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell. “The 43 per cent target has contributed significantly to an increase in power prices. “I think the question is what’s in our country’s best interest? “I know the prime minister loves to hang out with all the world leaders and get a slap on the back and the rest of it, but his job is actually to make it easier not harder for families and small businesses.”
