The Carbon Sense Coalition » Two Fatal Flaws
The Senate must reject the “Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme Bill” on the basis of its “Two Fatal Flaws” – the science and the economics. It is not supported by independent scientific assessment, nor does it present any credible cost benefit analysis. Moreover, at a time when politicians are calling for better financial disclosure and discipline, this Bill is alarming in its deceptive advertising, shows contempt for good practice by omitting independent expert reports, and stands condemned for failure to disclose the numerous vested interests supporting its claims.
Opposition has 'no climate policy': Wong
Senator Wong defended the scheme saying the nation needed a plan in place to reduce emissions.

"It's a bit like getting fit, you don't get fit by saying you want to get fit, you get fit by having a plan to get there," Senator Wong told Network Ten.

"Similarly, Australia needs a plan to reduce its emissions."
