This government believes Australia is in a great position to help reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, including by contributing our cleaner coal into markets around the world where it would displace dirtier coal which would otherwise lead to higher global greenhouse gas emissions. Australia has a unique contribution to make to the world by exporting our gas and cleaner coal, and we are able to develop our economy, create jobs and achieve better environmental outcomes at the same time. We believe that is our responsibility to the Australian people.
