Energy Minister Angus Taylor insists Australia’s greenhouse emissions are on the decline while the government’s official figures show a continual increase.
On ABC’s Insiders, Minister Taylor stated a 1 per cent decrease, following PM Scott Morrison’s reports that Australia would meet its Paris commitments in a canter.
The environment department’s latest report looking at emissions between September 2017 and September 2018 shows a total increase of 0.9 per cent, in a continuing climbing pattern over the past five years.
