“Albanese Faces Backlash Over Climate Trigger Stance, Compared to Morrison’s ‘Bulldozer’ Approach”

Anthony Albanese has faced criticism from the Senate crossbench for seemingly dismissing the inclusion of a climate trigger in proposed environmental legislation. His firm stance has drawn comparisons to former Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who famously referred to himself as a "bulldozer." Independent Senator David Pocock expressed disappointment with Albanese's position, while Sarah Hanson-Young, the Greens' environment spokesperson, cautioned the Prime Minister against adopting a bulldozing approach, stating that it does not reflect true leadership. The debate highlights ongoing tensions regarding environmental policy and the need for negotiation with senators to address climate concerns effectively.
