Environmental Protection: Motion
1:00 pm
Dan Boyle (Green Party)
The Waste Management Bill, introduced by a Labour Party Minister for the Environment and Local Government, includes a provision for incineration, which allows an incinerator to be developed in the constituency Senator Hannigan wants to represent. Would he like to explain to his potential constituents why we have legislation that was brought in by the Labour Party and which he opposes in terms of waste management principles? That is the hypocrisy of the Labour Party. That is why they should be the last to be considered guardians of the environment.
