Australia’s emissions down 2.2% last financial year.
Govt says it is the biggest annual drop in gross emissions recorded (ie not counting land/forests).
This has been put out ahead of a dump of climate documents and Chris Bowen making his annual climate statement.

Pauline Hanson already missed a sitting week this month visiting Donald Trump's garish resort. Her recent stunt gets her another week off, and more publicity for the redneck vote. She’s the happiest bogan in the village.

Murray Watt is a flog. @australianlabor.bsky.social Your party is supposed to be protecting the population of Australia against the polluters, against the miners, against the dangers of climate change. What has happened? Who's funding you to take this ridiculous stance? #auspol #ClimateCrisis
Minister Murray Watt asks Australians to believe we can better protect nature by facilitating faster exploitation with less regulation and less scrutiny.
