This is too important to quibble

Peter Martin.

Peter Martin discussed the Abbott-led Coalition Government’s Direct Action plan in today Business Day section in the Melbourne Age.

In a comment piece headed: “Is direct action on carbon no action?”, the economics correspondent did what economists love to do, discuss numbers.

He considered different ideas of how to approach the control of carbon emissions, but then, in the final analysis, Martin said, “Some goals are too important to quibble over the means of achieving them”.
