If the rest of the world sets a net-zero target and Australia doesn’t, what will happen to our economy?

DR FINKEL SAYS: Australia’s economic success for nearly 200 years has benefited greatly from exports. Globally, customers want to buy zero and low emissions products, thus it is up to us to export the products they want to buy. Car and phone manufacturers want low emissions steel and aluminium for the cars and phones of the future, and Australian companies such as Fortescue and Tomago have already started responding to their needs.
