In a sane world, the government guilty of committing genocide would be dismantled, and forced to pay reparations. Instead they are allowed to corral their victims into a concentration camp and steal their land. We live in the most obscene of all possible timelines.

A new report from the Clean Energy Regulator infers emissions from facilities covered by the Safeguard Mechanism fell by 3.2 MT last year.
But, also states 12 fewer facilities are covered this year, so emissions may not have been reduce at all (or only marginally).

Just once it would be a comfort if an ALP member actually lived up to their sacred principles rather than squibbing them at the first opportunity. Otherwise they should wind up the whole thing and stop taking up space.
So ... a dangerous abuser accuses his partner or ex-partner of a violent crime (this is common) & get the cops to charge her, usual delays until it's dropped/heard and now the govt will cut off the accused's entitlements, making her - & her children - wholly dependent on her abuser? Get out of it.

Even at the 62-70% range, Australia’s climate pollution was still amongst the highest in the world. At just 48%, we will experience more compounding, cascading & concurrent disasters, heavy flooding, bushfires, increased air pollution, & extreme heatwaves.

Labor, like the Liberals, have sold our climate ambition out to the coal and gas lobbyists.
Beyond that, it’s likely the true numbers are even worse given the report seems to have excluded pricing in Queensland’s decision to keep coal in the energy mix for a decade longer.

The current ecocidal duopoly.
Australia is projected to fall just shy of its 2030 climate target & catastrophically miss its 2035 target without significant changes.
On current projections, emissions will fall by just 48 per cent.
