Our emissions trajectory is good and we are on par to meet our objectives. Australia's 2030 target of reducing emissions by 26 to 28 per cent to below 2005 levels is strong. It's responsible. Colleagues who follow this closely would probably be aware it's the equivalent of a 52 per cent reduction of Australia's per-person emissions, amongst the highest of any G20 country. Australia's cumulative emissions reduction task to 2030 is projected to be 868 million tonnes, 26 per cent of the target. This is an improvement of over 120 million tonnes over the last estimate, published in December 2016.
