We don't care what voters say

Labor will not be lectured by Tony Abbott about the coalition's mandate to scrap the carbon tax, says acting opposition leader Chris Bowen.

Especially after the former opposition leader staked his political career on blocking the Rudd government's emissions trading legislation, he said.

The coalition is demanding that Labor respect its victory in the September 7 election, and not block attempts to repeal the carbon tax.

But Mr Bowen said the prime minister-elect was in no position to "lecture other people about mandates".

"We're not ... looking forward to receiving a lecture from Tony Abbott on the issue of mandates, when his entire rationale for returning to the leadership was to provide an obstacle to the Labor Party implementing its mandate in office," Mr Bowen told Sky News on Sunday.

"The Labor party has made correctly the view publicly that climate change is real, that's it's happening, that governments should act, and we need a constraint on carbon.

"That's a pretty fundamental thing, and I think we should stick by that view."

Labor leadership candidate Anthony Albanese says the party has to stand up and argue its case on climate change.

"If you believe that climate change is real, and I do ... you've got a responsibility to act," Mr Albanese told Sky News.

"The best way of acting in my view is using market based mechanisms through an emissions trading scheme.

"The risk is sitting on the porch in retirement, having a beer and thinking, `Gee wiz, I wish we hadn't have rolled over and pretended that climate change wasn't happening'.

After the election being fought on how bad Murdoch was saying Labor were there is little to show that people even considered the carbon position in their decision making.

The Greens lost 25% of its voter base

And the Libs only got 31.9% of the vote.

66.1% voted against you lot.

Now where's your mandate?
