Labor MP Matt Thistlethwaite says his party is planning to overhaul its climate policies and bring “stronger action on climate change” than the current government.

The member for Kingsford Smith told Sky News host Chris Kenny Labor will do “more than the current government” when it comes to energy policies. “We didn’t win the last election, we accept that,” he said.

“That’s why we’re conducting this review, not just of our energy policy but all of our policies.” His remarks came after former Labor Leader Bill Shorten broke his silence on Labor’s climate policy. Mr Shorten said voters wanted to see strong action to combat climate change but it would be arrogant if the party did not review its climate policy.

Good matt. When you stop china and india pollution let us know.

Policy should be beneficial to the economic prosperity of Australia as well as the environment. Look into technological transitions that encourage manufacturers & businesses to choose enviro-tech solutions with techno-jobs. Profit motive is the best driver for bosses to change.

Dope

They won't listen to us and will wallow in opposition for ever

Well that wouldn't be hard would it? Weak as water, 50% renewable electricity will happen regardless just on economics. Stick to that.

So they've learned nothing since the recent election?

To late WWG1WGA Q

And stronger losses for crim-Labor at the next election.

Hmm, stronger than the current LNP government denying policy but weaker than the existing Labor policy? I certainly hope not. ClimateEmergency simonahac
