I strongly suspect this is correct:
Experts warn the federal government has overhyped the potential for carbon farming to offset a huge volume of emissions in Australia’s push to net zero by 2050.
Australia currently emits about 490 million tonnes of carbon a year and the government’s long-term emissions reduction plan, released last week, said up to 100 million tonnes could be offset by farmers through the commercially unproven practice of soil carbon sequestration.

Agree but cutting methane from cattle looks pretty good.
Would not be surprised if electricity is more renewable by 2030 than thought and it would be sooo easy to cut car emissions as well.
The government's plan is nonsense. They simply wanted something to show the world and substance is irrelevant. It has Scotty from Marketing all over it. If the science is correct then we are already stuffed because not a single nation in the world is doing enough to change the situation. I'm not worried about it because prediction is perilous and human beings are very resistant to change.
