Shadow Communications Minister Melissa McIntosh found that the majority of people in her local community do not support the Albanese government’s new emissions or net zero targets, according to her own poll.

McIntosh launched a community survey after Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced that Australia would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 62 to 70 percent by 2035.
