Dominic Hannigan (Labour)

In the past two years we have seen the Green Party at the centre of Government. In that time it has had ample opportunity to introduce a central plank of its platform, namely, climate change legislation, but it failed to do that on every occasion. Some 19 months ago Senator Bacik introduced a Bill to this House that got favourable attention from all parties and all sides of this House, but that was moved into the sidings where it has remained since. Today, we have an opportunity to debate that Bill again. I ask all colleagues in this House, especially those in the Green Party, to get that Bill out of the sidings and back on track.
