Delivered
We’ve made progress to help protect our environment for future generations, with our electricity system now at 40% renewables. I’m proud to have helped deliver:
- [/] Stronger climate legislation – with tougher laws to crack down on pollution from Australia’s biggest emitters.
- [/] Efficiency standards for new vehicles – to cut car emissions by 60% by 2030, lower fuel bills by up to $1,000, and boost EV take-up.
- [/] $1 billion to support home electrification – helping 110,000 households with energy upgrades.
- [/] Improved nature protection – including proper assessment of big projects’ impact on water resources, and a new market to increase investment in nature protection.
But there’s still a long way to go and we are not moving fast enough. That’s why I’m focused on:
Future Plans
- Strong targets for 2030 and 2035 – that help us reduce climate pollution before it’s too and replace the 90% of coal-fired power due to retire in the next decade.
- An Energy Bill Relief Plan – by giving people power over energy prices, through support for rooftop solar, batteries, and home energy efficiency.
- Seizing our superpower potential – by accelerating our transition and creating the clean energy jobs of the future.
- Get serious about protecting nature – by ending native forest logging, fixing our broken environmental laws, and taking global warming into account in environmental assessments.
