I just took another look at this thread and realised I missed this. This commitment definitely hasn't been dumped. It's a centrepiece policy. I agree it's now hard to find on the new look Liberal website for some reason. In fact all policy documents are now really hard to find from the...

By the way, the confusion is very understandable. When measuring nitrous oxide emissions, most reports will use the term "CO2 equivalent" or "CO2e", which would seem to indicate it's about carbon when it's not. It's just about bringing the GWP effect of the nitrogen cycle back to base units of...

For those interested in the source document, here it is: http://www.bom.gov.au/announcements/media_releases/ho/20130301.shtml Funny, I thought this was pretty big news but despite it being on the BoM and ABC websites for some hours, I can't find any mention of it yet on a News Ltd website...
