Larissa Waters Speech on Clean Energy Legislation Repeal Bill – complete
In order to understand the significance of what this government is now seeking to do in overturning, through this climate change bills repeal package, the country’s first national climate laws, it is necessary to reflect on the clean energy package—its genesis and its success. The clean energy package was a truly remarkable and incredible achievement of the last parliament. In my short time here, it has been the most significant day I have had the pleasure of being involved in and being a part of. On that day, I was really proud of this parliament. I was proud that we had started to take the action necessary to safeguard our way of life—not just for my own daughter but for all future generations.
