Howard Bamsey, who was Australia's special envoy on climate change during the Rudd government, said the announcement from President Xi Jinping last week had turned the politics of emissions reduction into a sharp economic and diplomatic issue. Professor Bamsey, who was also Australia's ambassador for the environment under the Howard government, said the new policy "pulls the rug out from under the argument" that Australia's domestic climate goals do not need to accelerate because China was yet to increase its ambitions. "It's clear now China is accepting a leadership role," he said. "Xi made the announcement. That carries all the weight of the state and party."

The earliest month a federal election can be held is August 2021 and voters are expected to go to the polls by the end of next year.
