Greens leader says party has already made significant compromises on the safeguard mechanism
The Coalition has decided to oppose the changes. The Greens have proposed what they call a compromise, but what Labor has termed an ultimatum, to pass the safeguards changes if the government agrees to no longer approve new coal and gas developments.
“This is the biggest chance the parliament has had in more than a decade to actually get a sensible framework to reduce emissions from all our big emitters,” Bowen said. He said the government remained in discussions, and called on the Greens to suggest “good faith proposals”. Bowen backed the offsets element of the plan, saying some industries would struggle more to reduce emissions than others.
