The Government has announced a two billion dollar climate change package to meet the 2030 emissions reduction target. The fund will work with farmers, small businesses and remote Indigenous communities to achieve its objective. But the Opposition says it will scrap the fund, should it win the election.


Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced a two billion dollar package over ten years, aimed at ensuring Australia can meet its emissions reduction target.

The policy is an extension of former prime minister Tony Abbott's Direct Action plan.

Mr Morrison says the renamed Climate Solutions Fund will ensure the country meets its target of lowering emissions by 26 to 30 per cent by 2030. He says addressing climate change is a priority for the Liberal Party.
