Sources within the Australian Labor Party have stated that it remains committed to the 2030 target of generating 82 per cent of the nation’s energy via renewables. This is despite the fact that explicit references to the target have been removed from Labor’s draft national policy platform. The sources contend that the renewables target is covered in a broader reference to ‘ambitious and achievable 2030 and 2035 targets’. Amongst other things, the draft policy platform also emphasises Australia’s role as a middle power, calls for Australians to receive a ‘fairer return’ from natural resources and says Labr should consider appointing more union representatives to the Reserve Bank’s monetary policy board. The policy platform for the next federal election will be ­debated at Labor’s national ­conference in July.
