"With the next federal election looming on the not-so-distant horizon,
temperatures have flared both inside and outside Parliament House in Canberra
as the Albanese government becomes increasingly desperate to clear its
legislative to-do list.

One source of frustration has been demands from key cross-benchers for the
creation of a ‘climate trigger’, a potentially landmark reform to Australia’s
national environmental laws and which could be key to stopping the growth of
Australia’s fossil fuel industries.

Albanese’s refusal to negotiate on the introduction of the climate trigger – a
policy he once personally supported – has seen him compared to former prime
minister Scott Morrison and labelled a ‘bulldozer’."
