Member for Wentworth Dave Sharma says the Coalition has a "pretty clear" agenda to address climate policy and will not "threaten" the economy or jobs in the process.
Mr Sharma told Sky News host Chris Kenny the Cabinet "is all in behind" Prime Minister Scott Morrison's climate policy. "This is about technology, not taxation ... this is about addressing climate change but in a way that doesn’t threaten the economy or threaten jobs," he said. "It’s a sensible set of policies and I think we’ll be sticking with them". Image: Getty
