By respecting people's choices and not enforcing mandates on what people can do and buy," he said. Australia has pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 26 per cent to 28 per cent by 2030, from 2005 levels, a commitment that sits well below those made by the US, European Union and United Kingdom.
“Obviously that is dependent upon what we see in the Cabinet submission reflecting the conversations and the agreements between myself and the Prime Minister.”
