Review of core Labor climate policy splits on party lines, Greens decry lack of ambition

Sarah Ferguson interviews Greens leader Adam Bandt about the Albanese government's safeguard mechanism bill.

A Senate committee reviewing the government's key climate policy has split along predictable lines, with Labor MPs supporting the legislation and Greens and crossbenchers arguing it is not ambitious enough.

Last month, the government introduced its "safeguard mechanism" bill, which is the core of its plan to reduce emissions by 43 per cent by the end of the decade.
