Gladys Berejiklian says pork barrelling would not ‘be a surprise to anybody’ – but it’s not democracy either

Scott Morrison tells Cop26 Australia will exceed 2030 target in bid to fend off criticism
Glasgow conference is focused on more ambitious 2030 cuts but, while PM says Australia may cut emissions by 35%, the 26% to 28% target won’t be changed

The Morrison government’s emissions projections are a farce based on technological pipe dreams
If you examine the figures rather than the media release, it’s clear the Coalition has given up on the Paris agreement
