Labor conference motions day two

KEY MOTIONS FOR DAY 2, ALP CONFERENCE

* RENEWABLE ENERGY TARGET

Commit to a target of delivering at least 50 per cent of Australia's electricity generation from renewable sources by 2030. Investment should cover all sources, small and large scale.

* EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS

Labor will adopt an emissions reduction target before the next federal election based on the United Nations commitment and advice from the Climate Change Authority and other such independent bodies.

* CLIMATE MINISTRY

Labor will unite the portfolios of climate change and electricity policy when in government.

* SUPER TRAWLERS

Labor will prevent the operation of all super trawlers in Australian waters, unless a thorough scientific assessment can verify such operations will not undermine small and recreational fishing operations.

* SCHOOLS

Non-government schools should be supported by public funding that reflects need (Party platform currently says private schools should merely "receive support").

* PRESCHOOL

Labor in government will maintain the universal access to preschool and kindergarten program, and will seek to improve it by increasing the number of hours funded per week.

* PUBLIC TRANSPORT

A federal Labor government will make funding available for public transport projects, including urban passenger rail and rapid transit infrastructure.

* GAS

Work with industry to ensure that Australia maintains on its shipping register sufficient Australian bulk liquid/gas ships to support continuity of petroleum and gas supply, and exports of LNG.
