Oz's ACTUAL emissions are actually .... flat

 From The Australia Institute

The government boasts that emissions are now 28.2% below 2005 levels. Sounds great, except that is only when you include the very dodgy "emissions" from land clearing and land use (there was massive land clearing in 2005). The fall of "actual emissions" is a mere 1.8%.

Greenwashers are us.  Governments know we are very, very concerned about emissions and the climate catastrophe.  But they're not prepared to ACTUALLY do something about them.  So they pretend.
