Quotes attributable to Greens spokesperson for the environment, Senator Sarah Hanson-Young:
“Dumping net zero means walking away from environmental protection and climate science. Today the Liberal Party have made it clear they don’t accept the science or the need to protect our environment for future generations.
“Their economy and climate wrecking stance have ruled them out as a serious party of government and a serious partner on climate and environment.
“The Liberals can’t claim to care about the environment while dumping climate targets.
“Their new energy plan is an anti-climate, anti-environment ploy to delay action and prop up fossil fuel profits. It is nothing but economy wrecking, environmental vandalism.
“The Liberal party now have a policy worse than even Scott Morrison - the bloke who brought a lump of coal into the chamber.
“It won’t cut power bills, but it will hike taxes and living costs for everyday Australians. Asking taxpayers to bankroll new coal is nothing short of absurd.
“The Labor Government must rule out any deal on environment laws with the anti-science, anti-environment Coalition. The Liberals have torched what little environmental credibility they had left.
“Protecting nature means cutting pollution and ending environmental destruction. Climate change is one of the biggest threats to our forests, rivers and wildlife. You can’t separate the two.
“Strong environment laws must tackle pollution, protect wildlife, and confront the climate crisis head-on.
“Labor must choose: side with the polluters, loggers and the environment wreckers in the Liberal Party, or truly protect nature and our climate.
“It’s time the Government picked a lane and got serious about negotiating with the Greens.
