The Government’s revised Climate Bill is a betrayal of the climate movement and defeats the purpose of the Green Party being in power, the Opposition has claimed.

The Cabinet is currently meeting to discuss its latest Climate Bill but opposition parties have slammed the omission of a ban on liquified natural gas (LNG) from the new law.
