The climate and energy minister, Chris Bowen, has said the government will introduce legislation for its new emissions reduction target along with a new monitoring and reporting regime when parliament sits for the first time later this month.

Bandt said the party had received initial briefings from the government in which its reluctance to negotiate had been made clear, and urged a rethink from Labor, particularly as Albanese heard directly the concerns of Pacific island nations on climate change.

Bandt said that while Albanese was right to claim a mandate in the House of Representatives, the prime minister needed to recognise the shift in the Senate where the Greens will hold the balance of power.
