Australia’s new Green Party MP Adam Bandt joined with independents – Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott – in a call for action on climate change.

Speaking at the Press Club on Wednesday, Bandt reiterated the Green Party’s commitment to climate action.

He said: “We want a price on carbon and we want it soon.”

Oakeshott seconded the sentiment, saying: ”Lets get something on the table.”

Windsor added: ”I think we have a unique situation in this Parliament to start and drive this thing forward.”
