In his speech to the Sydney Institute last week, federal opposition agriculture and resources spokesman Joel Fitzgibbon asked as part of his thoughts on Labor’s election defeat whether it was time for the party ‘‘to reach a sensible settlement on climate change’’.
What would be "sensible", he argued, would be for Labor to wind back its target of a 45 per cent cut in carbon emissions by 2030 to something more like the Coalition's declared target of a 26 to 28 per cent. Even a cut of that lesser magnitude would be a concrete achievement to build on, he said, as opposed to another aspiration postponed.
