Nationals leader David Littleproud has criticised the Albanese government’s green hydrogen plans as a “pipedream” which is only going to “line Twiggy Forrest’s pockets”.

Opposition leader Peter Dutton says he will not quit the Paris Accord or give up on net zero.

It is understood Mr Dutton's recent dismissal of the 2030 climate target was due to the goal being unachievable.

“We won’t be going to hydrogen – that’s a pipedream that’s only going to line Twiggy Forrest’s pocket,” Mr Littleproud told Sky News Australia.

“Nuclear works in many countries around the world.”
