Coal-fired power generation in Australia is probably less than half of 1 per cent of all global emissions, so he's got it completely out of perspective," he said.
6,000,000,000 People
1% of global emissions means that
6,000,000,000 x 0.01
=
60,000,000
so as a population that is almost a third of this figure we are the source of 1% of the worlds global emissions. According to the website below this 1% constitutes 80% of power supply.

Add transport and cattle stocks plus the rest of industry and we can easily assume that as a population that is less the 1% of the worlds total population we output considerably more green house gases that we equitably should.
oh and if someone can check my math on this that would be great.
