Labor pleased Turnbull's Paris bound, but skeptical of policies

L

abor has welcomed the announcement that Malcolm Turnbull will attend climate change talks in Paris this year but says the government is selling Australia short by taking global warming “sceptic” policies to the key meeting.

The prime minister revealed to Guardian Australia on Friday that it was his “intention” to attend the UN climate change meeting, which his predecessor, Tony Abbott, had decided to shun.

The government has pledged to reduce greenhouse gas pollution by at least 26% of 2005 levels by 2030, with the possibility of reducing it even further to 28% if the target does not adversely impact the economy
