The government will be supporting this amendment. The Australian government is committed to reaching a 43 per cent reduction in emissions below 2005 levels by 2030 and net zero by 2050. The amendment is largely consistent with the amendments to Infrastructure Australia made last year as a result of the Climate Change Act, which passed through parliament on 8 September 2022. I would like to thank Senator Pocock and his office for their constructive engagement in relation to the bill.
