Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese’s attempt to negotiate a bipartisan agreement on climate policy hides a plan to bypass debate and avoids stating an emissions reduction target at the next election, Liberal MP Craig Kelly says.

Mr Kelly said “Anthony Albanese doesn’t want to say what Labor’s target will be; so what he has very cunningly done is say, 'we’ll agree to some mechanism that the target will be scalable'”.

The opposition leader also maintained “the cheapest form of energy in this country is renewables; it’s solar and wind".

Mr Kelly said the claim was “completely false”.

“Why would countries like China be building hundreds of coal powered fire stations if the panels they make are a cheaper form of electricity?” Mr Kelly asked Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
