Greens back climate deal after months of negotiations

The federal government has secured support from the Greens to implement its climate change commitment. It follows months of negotiations over what's known as the safeguard mechanism which will impose emissions limits on Australia's big polluters. The Greens failed to convince the government to ban all new coal and gas projects but have negotiated a hard cap on emissions.
