Dr Gifford of CSIRO published in 1992 “Implications of the globally increasing atmospheric CO 2 concentration and temperature for the Australian terrestrial carbon budget – integration using a simple model.” Australian Journal of Botany 40, 527-543. http://www.publish.csiro.au/paper/BT9920527.htm Saying about the Australian landmass – “The present modelled rate of net sequestration is of a similar magnitude to CO2 emissions from continental fossil fuel burning and land clearing combined.” So – the Australian landmass absorbs our carbon emissions. When you add in the absorbtion of CO2 from our offshore huge Economic marine zone - there never was any reason for harmful NetZero policies
