Fact checking Angus Taylor: does Australia have a climate change record to be proud of? The 1.3% figure does not account for Australia’s contribution to global emissions from the fossil fuels we dig up and export. According to Taylor, “Australia has strong targets, clear plans, an enviable track record” on climate change, and Australians should be proud of it. Australia has been placed consistently towards the bottom in the annual Climate Change Policy Index analysis of the world’s top 57 emitting nations. The most recent analysis ranked Australia as the sixth worst country on climate change overall.
