  • Breakfast Wrap: Coalition reopens climate wars

    The Liberal and National parties have announced their new joint climate and energy policy, dumping a commitment to net zero emissions by 2050. 

    Instead, the policy promises to reduce emissions "year on year," considering the "real performance" of other developed countries.

    Opposition leader Sussan Ley has also said affordability would be at the heart of the Coalition's plan, though she did not outline when or by how much power bills should be reduced.

    Then, a Monash University study has found lifesaving programs are either inaccessible or not inclusive to tourists and migrants.

    And US President Donald Trump has withdrawn his support for Marjorie Taylor Greene, blasting the Georgia congresswoman as a "traitor".

    Recap the morning's news, politics and global affairs with the Breakfast Wrap.
