Morrison a ‘predatory’ centrist on climate policy with no plans for meaningful emissions reduction, says Swan

Labor president says party must work against PM's PR strategy and get on with 'solving the bloody problem'

Labor's federal president Wayne Swan will accuse Scott Morrison of engaging in "predatory centrism" on climate policy by styling himself as the pragmatist between the extremes of climate emergencies and denialism, when the government has no intention of driving meaningful emissions reduction.

In a speech to be delivered on Sunday, Swan will argue Labor will only win the decade-long climate wars if it approaches the challenge with "pragmatic policy and ruthless organisation".
