The Melbourne Herald-Sun reporting in a story headed: “Carbon policy pits Aus against US: Garnaut”, said the former government adviser and a prominent economist has questioned government intentions.

Mr Garnaut says China, Europe and U.S, are moving toward big efforts to combat climate change and Australia, through the scrapping of its detailed and sophisticated carbon laws, is fundamentally opposing that action.

He said that with existing policies, Australia would be still in the game and doing its fair share, but pursuing what’s proposed we would be out of the game and not doing our fair share.
