Media Release.
Mark Butler MP.
Shadow Minister for
Climate Change and Energy
Date: 26 September 2016
New reports today show Australians want a government that is serious about acting on climate change.
Unfortunately, the Turnbull Government is full of climate change deniers and a weak Prime Minister who is beholden to them.
The Climate Institute’s Climate of the Nation
poll found 77 per cent of people accept that global warming is happening
and 65 per cent of Australians want their country to lead the world on
finding solutions.
Australians have a Government which has a weak, ineffective climate change policy under which pollution is rising.
Unlike the Liberals, Labor believes the science and
understands the public want real action. That is why we took a
comprehensive climate change and energy plan to the election that
reduced pollution and increased renewable energy.
Our plan included a plan to transition to a low
carbon economy, a plan that would support workers and communities
affected by this transition.
It’s time for Mr Turnbull to listen the Australian public and stop listening to the extreme right of his party.
