The climate change bill passing the lower house today revealed a real sign of the looming influence of the so-called teal independents in this parliament, Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says.
“What we saw this morning was a real sign of the looming influence of the Teals in this parliament, moving a bunch of amendments that the government agreed to,” Mr Clennell said.
“One of them, Zali Steggall, claimed that her amendment meant a future government could not reverse the target.
“And there were several other amendments, as Independent after Independent rose to move one.”
