The Greens have performed best in the Australian Conservation Foundation’s (ACF) pre-election scorecard, receiving a rating of 98% for their environment and climate change policies.
Labor was given a rating of 54%, with ACF CEO Kelly O’Shanassy praising policies such as its commitment to renewable energy and a continued ban on nuclear power. However, she said Labor was marked down over policies such as environmental protection laws and approvals for new coal and gas projects.
Meanwhile, O’Shanassy said the Coalition has “failed every single test”, resulting in a rating of just 1%.
