What will be the target cut in emissions announced by the Australian Government?
The only hard figure released is the immediate 5% cut. (The 15% possible future target cut is conditional on the decisions made by other nations.)

Background:
With concern growing in the Rudd cabinet about the emissions trading scheme's potential to exacerbate already rising unemployment, particularly in crucial marginal regional seats, the target range for the regime to be released on Monday week is widely expected to be between 5 per cent and 15 per cent by 2020. But the emissions trading white paper will tie Australian emissions reduction targets to the ambition of next year's Copenhagen agreement on cutting global greenhouse gas emissions.

australiavotes: A different link might explain it better. Basically the cut is 5% but if every other country signs up to a higher cut then it may be raised to as high as 15%. For the purpose of settling this question the announced cut is 5%
