"Overall, Australia’s emissions are 27.4% lower than they were in 2005. Given the 2030 target is for a them to be 57% lower than in 2005, that suggest we have a long way to go and at lot faster rate.

But the problem is greatly compounded when you realise that almost all of the cut since 2005 has come from ‘land use’ which is due to the fact that in 2005 there was massive land clearing in Queensland (especially) and because we no longer clear as must land, it looks like we have ‘reduced emissions'...

If you exclude land clearing, Australia’s emissions in 2025 are just 3% lower than they were in 2005 – that’s a very long way from a 57% cut, let alone the 70% cut that is the 20235 target."

Any ideas here of what our govt needs to do to cut these emissions like they need to be?
