The Australian government has said it is confident its greenhouse gas reduction target will be enshrined in law after negotiating amendments with senators from outside the new administration’s ranks.
A bill to enshrine the centre-left Labor Party’s election pledge to reduce Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions by 43 percent below 2005 levels by 2030 was the first piece of legislation introduced to the parliament when it sat last week for the first time since the May 21 elections.
