Angus Taylor again falsely claims Australia's greenhouse emissions are falling

The energy minister repeats PM's line that emissions fell by 1% when the government's own figures show the opposite

The energy minister has again insisted Australia's emissions are going down, when the government's official figures show emissions continue to increase, as the government struggles to sell the latest incarnation of its energy policy.

In an interview with the ABC program Insiders, Angus Taylor repeatedly stated emissions had decreased by 1% repeating the line first said by the prime minister, Scott Morrison, that Australia would meet its Paris commitments in "a canter".
