Lord Deben calls it like it is and ruffles a few Australian feathers

Lord Deben critical of Tony Abbott.

Lord Deben might be many things, but he is most certainly not a fool and has made a call that the Australian Government can only respond to with emotive and personal attacks.

The British Lord, and leading Tory politician, has accused Australia’s Prime Minister, Tony Abbott of “recklessly endangering” the future of the world.

The ABC reports on this accusation in a story headed: “Carbon tax repeal: UK politician Lord Deben attacks Tony Abbott's 'reckless' plan toscrap carbon tax”.

Lord Debden is Britain’s longest serving environmental minister, a former head of the Conservative Party who served under Margaret Thatcher and John Major, and is now the head of the UK Committee on Climate Change.
