Senator CANAVAN (Queensland—Nationals Whip in the Senate) (14:58): To get to the government's target of 62 per cent emissions reduction by 2035, Australia must cut its emissions at an annual rate of 21 million tonnes per year for the next 10 years. Given the government's only been cutting emissions at a rate of one million tonnes per year, how is a 62 per cent target realistic or affordable for Australians?
