CANBERRA (Reuters) - The junior partner in Australia's coalition government said on Monday it would not be rushed into a decision on whether to support a target of net zero emissions by 2050.

Morrison last week said he would attend the U.N. COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, where he was expected to present world leaders, including U.S. President Joe Biden, with Australia's updated climate ambitions of net zero by 2050.
