Following a trip to Papua New Guinea, Anthony Albanese seeks cabinet approval for the target, expected to be between 60 to 75 per cent based on 2005 levels.

Australia currently risks missing its 43 per cent 2030 target, before aiming for net zero emissions by 2050, as committed under the Paris Agreement.

Energy Minister Chris Bowen stated the target will be “ambitious and achievable,” balanced by Treasury modelling.

State Targets

States like New South Wales and Queensland have set legislative targets of 70 and 75 per cent, respectively.

Meanwhile, Victoria’s target ranges from 75 to 80 per cent. Internationally, New Zealand targets a reduction of 51 to 55 per cent, and Canada aims for 45 to 50 per cent.

Reactions from the Coalition are anticipated, especially following resistance from members such as Andrew Hastie, who has threatened to dissent against the net zero agenda.

Barnaby Joyce has proposed a bill to repeal the 2050 commitment, while Sussan Ley awaits the outcome of a policy review, questioning the costs associated with meeting these targets.

London protests against Trump drew crowds rallying for unity and condemning his divisive policies with chants and placards.

Crowds gathered in London to oppose Donald Trump’s state visit to the UK. Demonstrators travelled from across the country, holding placards that read “No to racism, no to Trump” and “Stop Trump, stop fascism”.

Chants of “Donald, Donald, you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide” echoed through the streets as protesters accused the US president of supporting policies that fuel division. Many described Trump as a dangerous and unpredictable leader, unfit to hold global power.

The demonstration attracted people from Yorkshire, Oxfordshire, Dublin and beyond, with some arriving in costume to mock the US president.
