Federal Coalition commits to dumping 2030 climate target as it pursues nuclear power (www.abc.net.au)

In short: The Coalition says Labor will fail to meet the Paris Agreement emissions reductions target but will damage Australian industry in trying.

Recent projections indicate Australia is not on track for the 2030 target, but could get close if existing policies are implemented as promised.

What next? The Coalition is focusing on gas and nuclear power, which the Australian Conservation Foundation describes as a "fantasy which Australia does not need".

I'm having NBN flashbacks... Labor has a good plan that's getting implemented, Liberals propose a terrible plan that has the potential to undo all of the good that's underway... And next minute we're on FTTN / implementing nuclear.

and in 10 years time after wasting billions they will say nuclear isn't feasible and it's time to ramp up coal and gas.
