So the "climate bill" got passed through parliament and is now legislation/law to reduce emissions by at least 43% by 2030 & to pursue a net zero target by 2050

Climate bill passes parliament, making 43 per cent reduction target law

The federal government's landmark climate bill passes parliament with the help of the Greens, Jacqui Lambie Network and David Pocock.

Does anyone know what penalties are in place if we don't achieve the legislated targets, or is it just a random figure plucked out of the air, to appease certain sectors ?
It will be interesting to watch how we are tracking over the next three years IMO, because after that period, we only have a further five years to achieve it.

That's a very good question.

Could a future PM be charged with breaking the law if the targets are not achieved ?

I think it's more likely that if it looks like the target won't be achieved the PM will simply change the law.

Same as the penalties for violating the debt ceiling laws.... Non-Existent and irrelevant.

Government of the day will just change or scrap the laws if there is ever an issue.

Getting a special holiday for the Queen.
That wouldn't have happened with the Coalition.
With the Victorian Footy holiday I will get a 4 day weekend. ?

I don't know what you have to complain about, you got months off with covid lockdowns, that happened with the coalition.

Nothing to complain of personally. I worked pretty hard during the lockdowns, sad for the businesses that didn't make it though.
Just saying I don't think the coalition would have given the extra holiday though I suppose Menzies would have. not sure my boss is as happy about it as me.
