Nationals Senator Matt Canavan joined Sky News Australia to discuss the Chamber of Commerce pitch, raising concerns over Labor's out-of-reach target.
'Rather than focus on the target ahead of them in 2030, which they are not going to meet, they're now going to set an even greater and bigger target that they are not going to be around for in 2035 or 40,' Mr Canavan said
'I hope the Australian people are seeing through this because this net zero obsession is the principal reason why productivity is in the slumps, it's clearly the reason why electricity prices have risen 31 per cent since we signed up to net zero and gas prices have risen 39 per cent, that's on top of an already major increases over the past couple of decades as we obsessed about this green energy scam.
'The Australian people, they've had enough of paying high bills, high electricity bills, it's flowing through to food prices now, the cost of everything is going up, why don't we focus on using our energy resources again why don't we focus on a target of reducing the cost of living in Australia before we focus on a target of reducing astray emissions which are barely anything of global emissions in any case.'
