The Australian Labor Party has pledged to reduce Australia’s emissions, generate jobs, and cut power bills if it wins power at the next election.

Opposition leader Anthony Albanese on Friday unveiled the long-awaited emission policy, which he said will help to cut emissions by 43 percent by 2030 and keep Australia “on track for net-zero by 2050.”
