6. Finally, a note on the targets. The 2030 targets will require lots to be done (like building transmission and a workforce) to ensure the renewables can be ramped up sufficiently, in line with the projections. And then for 2050... well... something will need to happen in the rest of the economy.

5. Now for the projections... Labor's 2030 target will me met mostly by cuts in the electricity sector. But you need to read the projections with caution. They actually simply *assume* that the cuts are made, and pop them on the chart. (Also, those cuts peter out after 2030.)

3. Another problem with that (aside from not representing a shift in how our economy is functioning) is that the measure of land use emissions is very unreliable. The government changes its mind every year about it. And each time, it seems to be revised to make things look better.

2. The majority of the cuts since 2005 have been in the land sector - not doing things like, erm, stopping burning fossil fuels...

“Although science might not be partisan, it’s political”
Calling science apolitical is a political statemnet
A greater awareness & recognition of the inherently political nature of science is a key step towards restoring public trust in science
