The Greens Will Support Labor’s Climate Bill But Want More Done To Stop Fossil Fuels

The Greens leader Adam Bandt has pledged his party will back Labor’s emissions legislation but reiterated the fight on new coal, oil and gas projects isn’t over. The Greens’ support means Labor is set to legislate its 43 per cent emissions reduction target, thanks to the minor party’s support in the House of Representatives and its 12 Senate votes. Only one more vote is needed in the Senate to pass the legislation, according to The Conversation.

Greens statement says they’ll support the 43% emissions cut, BUT: – continue pushing to stop new coal & gas, including enhancing safeguard mechanism – amend the Budget to remove fossil fuel subsidies – push for a climate trigger in environmental laws – keep opposing Beetaloo etc pic.twitter.com/Zd9FoAipR5
