Industry backs NSW call for Morrison government to require emissions cut

Australian Industry Group says an emissions reduction obligation in national policy is 'vastly superior' to separate state schemes

The New South Wales government's call to end the "climate wars" has won a tick of approval from the Australian Industry Group, which represents Australia's largest industrial energy users.

The employer body's chief executive, Innes Willox, told Guardian Australia an emissions reduction obligation in national policy was "vastly superior" to separate state schemes and also pushed for policies to reduce emissions outside the energy sector.
