‘Nuclear fantasy flight’: Dutton has no plan says Albanese

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has likened Coalition leader Peter Dutton not revealing his 2030 climate target to getting on a “mystery plane” that doesn’t land until 2040. Leader of the opposition Peter Dutton has pledged to campaign against Labor’s legislated target to reduce emissions by 43 per cent by 2030 in accordance with the Paris Agreement. “It’s a bit like someone getting on a plane at a new airport on one of those mystery flights, where you don’t know where you want to go, you don’t know what the destination is… and you can’t get off your flight until 2040 because that’s when the nuclear fantasy flight will land,” Mr Albanese said in a media conference on Wednesday. “Until then, you are going to parachute out of the plane and take potluck at where you land. “This is an extraordinary failure of leadership from Peter Dutton, it shows he is not up to the job of being the alternative prime minister of this country.”
