Labor ministers prefer horsepower over hybrids | News.com.au

THE Federal Government is proving to be full of hot air when it comes to slashing greenhouse gases, with just two out of 20 Cabinet ministers choosing fuel-efficient "hybrid" cars.

Despite insisting Australia must reduce carbon emissions, Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Climate Change Minister Greg Combet are among scores of Labor MPs driving gas-guzzlers.

And former PM Kevin Rudd's campaign to roll out the eco-friendly Toyota Prius as part of the Commonwealth car fleet has also been dumped - with just one such vehicle still operating.
