Liberal and Labor Party senators have combined forces to block a Climate Emergency declaration in Australia, on the day New Zealand has declared a climate emergency at their Labour Prime Minister’s request.
The Australian Greens put Climate Emergency Declaration motions before the House and Senate, with the Government blocking the vote in the House, and Labor and the Government blocking in the Senate.
Green Party's Leader in the Senate, Larissa Waters, took to Twitter to denounce both parties, "This fossil-fuel addicted Govt is now moving to stop the parliament debating whether to declare a climate emergency. They rail against “disruption:" just wait til they see what the climate has in store for us! Shamefully, Labor is supporting the gag. Greens won’t give up!"
