The climate bill has passed the lower house with Greens support.
You wanted us to push Labor to go further & faster on climate, and to improve & pass this Bill. That’s what we did.
The Greens ensured that the target is a floor not a ceiling, and that the Bill is “Dutton proofed” from future Governments.
We also made it harder to fund coal & gas by applying the target to many government agencies, and ensured greater transparency & accountability on the Climate Change Authority which will advise on climate targets.
Disappointingly, Labor teamed up with the Liberals to vote against Greens amendments to increase the target to 75% and to stop new coal & gas mines.
This is a climate parliament, the only thing standing in the way of more action is Labor and their fossil fuel donors.
We will ramp up our fight to stop Labor opening coal and gas mines.
Because it is the battle of the century and the battle of our lives and we need everyone to be in it. ✊
