Bill Shorten rules out joint climate policy process with Greens if Labor wins power

Labor leader says 'I'm not going to have this argument that somehow, we are going to go into coalition with the Greens'

Bill Shorten has declared Labor will run its own race on climate change, and will "listen" but not replicate Julia Gillard's joint policy process with the Greens in any minority government scenario after the election.

In an interview with Guardian Australia on the campaign trail this week, the Labor leader rebuffed a recent overture from the Greens leader Richard Di Natale to revive the process that applied in the 43rd parliament where the parties worked together to produce the clean energy package.
