Net-zero mirage makes mockery of a nation going broke

1 week ago | ipa.org.au | Adam Creighton

In this article, Adam Creighton contextualises and disseminates the IPA’s research on Net Zero.

Fast-forward to now and there’s only one speed – and it’s too often in reverse.

New IPA research has aggregated the rising spending commitments of the federal government on programs related to, or focused on, climate change and net zero in each federal budget over the last decade.
