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".
