Misunderstandings and adherence to populist values - Abbott Government


T

oday’s Melbourne Age again tells us more about the Australian Government’s misunderstanding of climate change and of its adherence to populist values.

The story - “Abbott government resists US moves against coal power” – by Lisa Cox and Mark Kenny discusses our government’s contrary position on coal, climate change and protecting the environment.

They report: “A leaked briefing paper, obtained by Fairfax Media, shows the government is using an international forum to frustrate efforts by the US, the United Kingdom and France to wind back export subsidies for new but environmentally harmful coal stations in third world countries.”
