Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Energy Minister Chris Bowen and several other Labor MPs all accused Mr Canavan of being a climate change denialist.

However, the Queensland Senator told Sky News Sunday Agenda that his views had been misrepresented.

“Yes, there is an impact on the climate from higher amounts of carbon dioxide,” Mr Canavan said.  “My question here has also always been how significant that is and what we should do about it.”

“Clearly anything that should be done about it has to be done at a global level. There's no point in Australia just taking action alone,” he said.

Mr Canavan was a large part of the push for the Coalition to scrap net zero, leading the push to dump net zero 2050 emissions targets.

Under the new policy, the Coalition will hope to reduce emissions "year on year" on average for every five-year period, as laid out in the Paris Agreement.

Reductions in emissions will be pursued "as fast and as far as technology allows" but only if they do not add extra costs on energy users.

The Coalition will also establish a "technology-neutral" energy approach, which will ensure no premature closure of coal plants and an increase in gas supply.


“The government is just doubling down on failure by continuing a renewable energy only approach, which is not working and we're not even going to achieve,” Mr Canavan said.

“We're saying, look, let's scrap all this net zero rubbish, let’s run our energy system with the primary goal in mind of delivering the lowest possible energy prices for Australians.  “That will lower their cost of living, that will improve living standards, improve productivity, and most importantly improve real wages.  It will get people, get more bang for their buck. For every hour they have to toil and sweat to provide for their families.”




No good?
