Today in Question Time the Prime Minister rejected media reports that he had given an ironclad guarantee to big corporations to not allow a climate trigger to stop more coal and gas in environment laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Greens are in balance of power on the new laws, and the Greens will push for a climate trigger and the protection for native forests to be included in the laws as a condition of our support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australian Greens Environment spokesperson, Senator Sarah Hanson-Young:<\/strong> \u201cThis shows that a climate trigger is still on the table in this parliament. The nation\u2019s big polluters are on notice – the era of dirty coal and gas is almost over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Greens will push for a climate trigger in new environment laws to stop more coal and gas mines, as well as an end to native forest logging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAny new environment laws that allow more fossil fuels and the destruction of our forests are not worth the paper they\u2019re printed on. The Greens won\u2019t be rubber-stamping any new laws that simply pander to the fossil fuel lobby, fail to protect nature, and do little to cut pollution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today in Question Time the Prime Minister rejected media reports that he had given an ironclad guarantee to big corporations to not allow a climate trigger to stop more coal and gas in environment laws.

\u201cWe welcome the PM\u2019s rejection of reports that he gave big corporations a guarantee a climate trigger won\u2019t be in new environment laws,” Senator Hanson-Young said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
