Resources and Water Minister Keith Pitt says we need to get some “facts” back into the debate on Australia’s net-zero climate change plan.

The Prime Minister is preparing to finalise a revised climate change policy for Australia following his return from America but he needs the Nationals on board to do so.

“Once the proposal is put forward, my colleagues will have a discussion, they’ll have their views, and as I’ve said, we’re not like the Labor party, where somebody tells us how to vote, what to say, how to think or otherwise we get disendorsed,” Mr Pitt told Sky News Australia.

“Technology continues to change; we’ll utilise those technologies as they change, and we need to get some facts back into this debate.

“I mean 95 per cent, 95 per cent of the worlds thermal coal production doesn’t come from Australia, it’s from elsewhere.

“I mean the US is almost twice what we produce, China’s in the billions of tonnes and yet there are individuals out there who expect us to throw our industry under a bus.”
