BRISBANE, Australia Queensland Liberal National Party leader David Crisafulli has sidestepped a question as to whether he would commit to net-zero emissions by 2050 as he laid out his vision for the party.
Speaking at the Queensland Media Club on July 29, the opposition leader said he will put forward a raft of environmental policies that show “we are fair dinkum about it” but took the chance to highlight the government’s failed steps at reaching their own goals.

VIC Premier
The Victorian and Queensland Governments have secured a deal to share a Large Air Tanker to support aerial firefighting capacity in both states during their respective bushfire seasons.
The Bombardier Dash-8 Q400AT aircraft will operate in Queensland from September to December to cover their bushfire season and will operate in Victoria for the height of summer from December to February.
Sharing aerial firefighting resources provides both states with better value for money while ensuring the aircraft is available to support firefighting efforts on the ground when and where it is needed most.
The agreement covers the 2021 to 2024 bushfire seasons and the Large Air Tanker will remain in Victoria between bushfire seasons.
