Story

Albanese has made Australian action on climate change a focal point in upcoming elections following Peter Dutton's opposition to the Labor Party's emissions reduction plan. Dutton's stance on not meeting the 43% target set by Parliament has sparked debate on climate policies. The Liberal Party will announce its 2030 reduction target closer to the next election, emphasizing commitment to the Paris Agreement and achieving net zero emissions by 2050. The two major parties differ in their approaches, with Labor focusing on renewable energy and the Liberal Party considering nuclear energy as part of their strategies.
