Anthony Albanese flags 'ambitious' emissions target but won't recommit to 45% reduction

Anthony Albanese has described the decision to recommit to a 45% emissions reduction target by 2030 as “a mistake” and declared Labor would not take the same franking credits policy to the next election.

Anthony Albanese on Labor’s 2019 election policies:
‘Everything stayed the same and we just added
more on … [which] doesn’t end well.’

In comments to Sky News on Sunday, Albanese confirmed Labor had repositioned by dumping its 2016 election commitments since “our policies aren’t there until we announce them proactively, positively”.

Albanese promised Labor would “take climate change seriously” and had a “very strong” policy that aimed to be “as ambitious as possible” but did not commit to outbid the Coalition because he hoped the Morrison government would take action before the next election.
