syney scopis now it was the coalition
government that signed up to the Paris
Accord and now what P Dutton is saying
is that he won't have a 2030 Target he
won't tell you what he will do before
the election it's a bit like someone
getting on a plane at the new airport on
one of those mystery flights where you
don't know where you're going to go you
don't know what the destination is you
think you're going to One Direction but
you find yourself on the other part of
Australia or the other part of the world
and you can't uh you can't get off uh
your flight until 2040 because that's
when the nuclear fantasy will land if
they can find a location if they can
find someone who'll fund a nuclear power
plant until then you're going to have to
parachute out of the plane and take uh
take pot luck at where you land this is
an extraordinary uh failure of
leadership from Peter Dutton it shows
he's not up to the job of being the
alternative prime minister of this
country and just in the last 24 hours
we've had at least five different
positions put by Coalition um including
Coalition Shadow ministers like Barnaby
Joyce calling to scrap Net Zero by 2050
others like Bridget Archer calling for a
Target and support for our existing
Target for 2030
other people just all over the shop uh
whenever Peter Dutton has put out a
detail of a policy it has fallen into a
heap within minutes and that's why uh he
has gone now more than two years without
having a single costed alternative
policy to the government's
plans I'm guaranteeing the 2030 Target
uh that we have led legislated as well
as Net Zero by 2050 what we're
concentrating on is delivering 43% by
2030 and we've got a mechanism to get
there the Safeguard mechanism that was
first uh introduced or floated by Greg
Hunt when he was the minister but never
ever delivered uh the Coalition had 22
different energy plans and didn't land
one we have one energy plan it's a 2030
Target of 43% it's a safeguard mechanism
for the high emitters uh to bring down
on a trajectory of their emissions
there's a capacity investment scheme
there is the announcements that we made
uh in the budget but solar sunshot
hydrogen Head Start the production tax
credits for green hydrogen and for
critical minerals we have a plan for
Australia to go forward Peter Dutton is
scared of the current but he is
terrified of the future and what you
need to do is to shape that future or
the future will shape us the world is
moving the global economy is
transitioning to clean energy and
Australia has a comparative advantage we
need to seize the opportunities which
are there for new jobs created with new
investment particularly in our regions
Peter Dutton wants to scare that
investment away and wants Australia to
fail I want Australia to succeed and I
believe that Australians want that as
well that's what they voted for that's
what the business Community are crying
out for as well as conservation groups
as well as the work that every state and
territory government are doing including
I might say this New South Wales labor
government but the former New South
Wales coalition government as well
supported our targets and supported
action Peter Dutton is isolated in the
naughty corner and wants us to join Iran
Yemen and Libya as countries outside the
Paris Accord and outside climate action
