These are diabolical pollution numbers that suggest we are on track for cataclysmic climate change.
48% is a country mile away from the 62% emissions reduction that Labor promised.

Sometimes, when you’re trying to figure out the efficacy of complex policy and legislative changes, it helps to ask simple concrete questions. So here are two: 1) Will the salmon farms be coming out of Macquarie Harbour? & 2) Will Madeleine King stop selling exploration licences? Hope that helps.
