I often get asked about the outsized influence of the big gas companies in WA. In the context of the approval just last week of the North West Shelf gas project extension, there is not a better time to be examining this relationship.

Departmental analysis includes contentious measurements, but climate minister says government is cleaning up after ‘decade of denial, delay, dysfunction and utter neglect’

The Australian government will claim it is on track to meet its legislated 43% emissions reduction target by 2030 after a departmental analysis found it had improved its position over the past year.
The government said annual emissions projections, based on an assessment of government policies and other trends, suggest national climate pollution would be at least 42.6% less than 2005 levels by the end of the decade, compared with 37% last year. The forecast included the impact of an underwriting scheme for new large-scale renewable energy and batteries, and vehicle efficiency standards that from next year require auto companies to start selling more zero and low-emissions cars.

The floor for Australia’s 2035 target has been set by states and territories’ whose combined emissions reduction targets add up to a reduction of 66-71% from a 2005 baseline.
71% should be the floor with an 85% reduction needed to limit warming to 1.5 degrees.
