The Opposition took a policy of a 30 per cent reduction on 1990 levels to the 2008 election.
Yesterday, Mr Seselja said the ACT Labor Government was harming Canberra families by adopting a 40per cent greenhouse gas reduction target by 2020.
''We have a target that's eight times the size of the national target - that doesn't make any sense,'' Mr Seselja said. But when the Opposition leader was challenged over Liberal policy, which is six times the national target, Mr Seselja said the policy was under review.
''We'll be having a look at that. That target was set at a time when the Federal Parliament was moving to a target of between 15 and 25 per cent - they've now gone back to a target of 5per cent, so we'll obviously be examining that before the next election,'' he said.
''We believe that it's important that we show leadership, but eight times the national target is a really massive burden on Canberrans, and it's a burden that doesn't do anything for the environment.
''All of our policies are up for a review before an election and we'll take our policies on climate change and other issues to the next election.''
The policy review was announced as the Government and Greens passed a large-scale solar feed-in Bill in the Legislative Assembly. The Government will conduct a ''reverse auction'' where private sector operators vie to offer the lowest possible 20-year fixed price for up to 210MW of large-scale renewable energy.
At least two major commercial solar facilities capable of powering about 7000 homes will be constructed in the ACT as a result.
But the Bill made provision for the construction of the commercial solar facilities within the ACT region.
