Kevin Rudd (Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Hansard source

My question is again to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Prime Minister’s remarkable comments on the Today show this morning when he said, in relation to Sir Nicholas Stern: ‘Many of the things he’s talking about are already our policies.’ Prime Minister, isn’t it a fact that Stern says: ‘Ratify the Kyoto protocol’? The government says no; Labor says yes. Stern says, ‘Cut greenhouse emissions by 60 per cent by 2050’. The government says no; Labor says yes. Stern says, ‘Establish an emissions trading scheme.’ The government says no; Labor says yes. Prime Minister, after 11 long years in office, when will the government get fair dinkum about acting on climate change?
