Greens climate spokesman Adam Bandt says the party's aggressive climate policy is 'driven by the science'. The policy platform, due to be released on Thursday, has been labelled a 'cold-turkey' approach by some and will propose 2030 as a cut-off point for coal exports and the shutdown date for the nation's coal-fired power stations.
As critics challenge the policy for its economic impact, Mr Bandt told Sky News that costing from the Parliamentary Budget Office shows the party's plan will 'leave the budget $48 billion better off' over the next decade. Mr Bandt argues it's not a question of 'technology or economics', but instead one of 'political will'. Image; News Corp Australia
