The Australian Greens have slammed the major parties for failing to support a moratorium on coal seam gas mining and failing to protect the Great Barrier Reef from dredging.
Greens senator Larissa Waters failed to garner support from Labor, the Nationals and the Liberals to support two motions in the Senate on Wednesday.
Senator Waters accused the Nationals of abandoning their own policy by failing to show up for a vote on the CSG motion after saying it must be absolutely clear no CSG development should occur unless its proven safe for the environment.
She said the Nationals had been "too gutless" to stand up to the Liberals on the issue.
