Anthony Albanese has been rebuked by the Senate crossbench for all but ruling out a climate trigger in environment legislation, with his take-it-or-leave-it stance compared to Scott Morrison’s description of himself as a “bulldozer”.
On Monday the independent senator David Pocock labelled the prime minister’s position “really disappointing” while the Greens’ environment spokesperson, Sarah Hanson-Young, warned the PM it is “not leadership to bulldoze your way through”.
