PM reveals 2035 climate targets; ABC barred from Trump press conference after clash with Australian journalist
Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young and Deputy Citizen Kevin Hogan expressed his concerns before today’s Australia’s 2035 climate target.
Speaking about Sky News this morning, Hogan said that his party’s announcement may mean for the economy today.
“What we have not seen enough analysis and is equally concerned about what this means for the power bills of Australian households.
“And I have a lot of skepticism about what the government will announce today … And I want to analyze what it means for the Australian industry, the Australian economy, and how much it will cost the Australian economy,” he said.

Climate change authority is expected to propose a target between 65-75 percent when they announce their 2035 target today. Hanson-Yung said that the greens hoped to see a number at the much higher end of this projection and that “nothing was thought to be ambitious in sixties.
“I hope the Prime Minister stands up and announces an ambitious target for 2035. It is compatible with science… And the plan to get rid of fossil fuels,” he said in this morning program.
“Of course, I am worried that the Labor Party is still throwing the box from the road and that fossil fuel companies have proposed.”
Comments come after Environmental Minister Murray Watt’s controversial approval to expand the North West shelf, the largest fossil fuel project of Australia last week.
Uz We need an ambitious goal and we need a plan to get rid of fossil fuels, especially fossil fuel exports. And if the Prime Minister did this, he would have a better relationship with our Pacific neighbors. And we saw how this week has fallen throughout this week, and now we saw Vanuatu and the Pacific family.
