Labor's weak target abandons the science and sells out future generations to appease fossil fuel interests. Climate experts demanded at least 75% to align with 1.5°C warming limits, yet Labor chose the bare minimum that protects coal and gas profits over people's safety. The government's own climate risk report warns 1.5 million Australians face displacement from sea level rise, yet this inadequate target guarantees those catastrophic outcomes. Real climate action means ending fossil fuel exports, not protecting a $100 billion coal industry while communities suffer.
