It would be better if the climate negotiations with the Greens collapsed, rather than drag on for weeks and create the perception the minor party was once more calling the shots on emissions reduction policy.
collapsed, rather than drag on for weeks and create the perception the minor party was once more calling the shots on emissions reduction policy, according to a growing view inside the Labor government.
Asked if this was a “red line” demand, Mr Bandt said, “we have not gone into this negotiation with ultimatums”.“We’re going into these discussions with our preferred approach to improve and pass.” The legislation for net zero emissions by 2050 and a 43 per cent reduction over 2005 levels by 2050 will be introduced to the House of Representatives on Wednesday and passed before the end of next week, so it can be dealt with by the Senate when parliament next sits on September 5., Mr Bowen expressed“I’ve said repeatedly that we have designed our Powering Australia plan so that it can be implemented whether legislation passes or not – we will just get on with the job,” he writes.
This view has hardened in recent days amid fears of a perception the Greens have the whip hand and that somehow Labor is desperate for a deal.
