活动描述
The Rudd Government's Carbon Pollution Reduction scheme is a sick joke, written at the behest of the fossil fuel and dirty industry lobbies at the Australian people's expense.
It will:
- lock in pathetic and unscientific emissions reduction targets of 5-15% by 2020 on 2000 levels
- undermine international negotiations on an emissions agreement by showing Australia is not willing to pull its weight
- Give pollution property rights to polluters, opening the Australian taxpayer up to potential compensation claims in the future when we have a government that will actually take climate change seriously
- Result in a massive transfer of wealth from all of us to already rich, polluting companies, through free permits and other "compensation" giveaways
- Disenfranchise voluntary action to reduce emissions by households and communities.
IT MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO PASS THE SENATE! We demand effective climate change policies!
Come and protest outside your local member of parliament's office and let them know you want real, science-based action on climate change.
