I move:

That the Senate endorses the climate change action plan proposed by the Australian Council of Trade Unions, including its call for:

(a)

government subsidies for energy efficient retrofitting of buildings;

(b)

mandatory green building codes;

(c)

large-scale reuse of treated effluent;

(d)

improved vehicle fuel efficiency;

(e)

greater use of shipping to cut greenhouse gas emissions;

(f)

the right to reject work which harms the environment; and

(g)

a mandatory renewable energy target of 10 per cent, as called for by the Australian Greens in 2002.

Question put.
