The Australian public will never forgive the Labor Party if it abandons any commitment to taking genuine action on the climate crisis as Joel Fitzgibbon is now arguing, said Leader of the Australian Greens Dr Richard Di Natale.
\n\u201cHundreds of thousands of people from all across the community are coming together to demand urgent action on the climate emergency. If the ALP\u2019s response to this growing movement is to abandon its already weak climate policy and instead mimic the Government\u2019s, the community will never forgive them,\u201d said Leader of the Australian Greens Dr Richard Di Natale.
\n\u201dIt\u2019s time for the Labor Party to take a stand; no more sitting on the fence or saying one thing in Queensland and another in Victoria. Either Labor stands with the community and the Greens for strong, urgent action and the tens of thousands of jobs that will create, or they are with the climate deniers in the Coalition.\u201d
\n\u201cLabor needs to decide if it\u2019s still committed to stopping dangerous runaway global warming. If Labor walks away from its already weak 2030 targets, it walks away from the Paris Agreement goal of keeping global warming below two degrees. As the Greens fight the Tories, Labor looks set to join them,\u201d said Greens Climate Change Spokesperson Adam Bandt MP.
\n\u201cAs the record drought shows, Australia and the world is in the middle of a climate crisis. It\u2019s an emergency, but Labor wants to send the fire truck back to station.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
