Bernie  Fraser - a surprise
resignation from the
Climate Change Authority.
It comes less than a month after Mr Fraser issued a strong rebuke to the Abbott government over its justifications of its post-2020 greenhouse emissions targets.

A statement issued by the Climate Change Authority late on Tuesday said Mr Fraser, a respected former Reserve Bank governor and Treasury chief, had quit as chair. His term was not due to end until 2017.
