‘Zero is not zero’: Energy minister qualifies emissions target

A survey of more than 400 people including business figures by the Carbon Market Institute shows 84 per cent support a 50 per cent reduction of emissions on 2005 by 2030.

The government’s current target is a reduction in emissions to 26 to 28 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030.

The survey also found nearly 80 per cent want pollution limits via the safeguard mechanism reduced.
