Claim: Labor leader Anthony Albanese accuses the Australian prime minister of backflipping on net zero emissions targets, claiming Scott Morrison previously implied a 2050 target would have "catastrophic economic consequences".
Fact-check: Did Scott Morrison say net zero emissions by 2050 would be 'catastrophic' for the economy?
Verdict: somewhat true – a part or parts of the claim are accurate but there is also a significant problem or inaccuracy.
