Tony Wood.
ony Wood explores the difficulties and challenges faced by Labor in articulating its response to climate change.

The program director, Energy, at the Grattan Institute has written about “The latest turn in the twisty history of Labor’s climate policies” on The Conversation.

Her said, “Developing and effectively implementing a response to the “great moral challenge of our time” has so far beaten two Labor Prime Ministers and looks challenging for the current alternative prime minister, Bill Shorten.

“Whatever the status of this week’s leaked policy document, a reflection on the Labor Party’s gyrations on climate change policy over the past decade may provide some insight into what we might see next. The political drama will be heightened next month, when the government announces its post-2020 emissions reduction target and then its own policy to meet that target. “
