Election Priorities 2025

The 2025 federal election is looming against a backdrop of immediate cost of living concerns. The impacts of climate change are also materialising with associated costs to business, communities and households.
Australia’s Net Zero 2050 target is supported by both major parties and now enshrined in law, and the importance of decarbonisation to Australia’s future economic prosperity is understood across the political spectrum.
Alongside a necessary focus on measures to address current cost of living pressures, the CMI is calling on all political parties to put forward comprehensive climate policy proposals that will support business certainty and ensure Australia plays its part to limit dangerous global heating in line with the
Paris Agreement.
