狗咬狗:Green's Bob Brown Blames Julia of leadership failure 天外飞砖2010-07-25 11:32:28

GREENS leader Bob Brown has attacked Julia Gillard's proposed citizen's assembly as an irresponsible "cop-out" on climate change. Senator Brown said this morning Ms Gillard's concept to establish an assembly of 150 representative citizens to work towards a community consensus on climate change betrayed a fundamental lack of leadership.

Picture: Peter Wallis Source: The Australian “It's a complete cop-out,” he told Sky News. “Fancy saying that if you're voting for me you're voting for a phonebook. It's just irresponsible'. But Climate Change Minister Penny Wong today defended Ms Gillard's plan, arguing it provided a pathway to pricing carbon and was a way the government could engage the community. “I think it gives us a clear path (on a carbon price) and she's made it very clear she wants this to be something that is not subject to the swings and roundabouts inside the Liberal partyroom,” Senator Wong told the Ten Network. Ms Wong reaffirmed the government's commitment to moving towards a price on carbon. “What we are saying is we want to put a limit on pollution with a market mechanism,” she said. The Prime Minister has kept to Kevin Rudd's timetable for an emissions trading scheme, pushing it out to at least 2013 on the condition that it enjoys community support. But Senator Brown indicated a mandate for real action should be sought by Ms Gillard at the coming election. “You simply have to take into the parliament the power of the majority of Australians who want action on climate change,” he said. Asked about his future, Senator Brown said he had no intention of leaving politics for at least another decade, giving himself up to another 20 years. “I'm going to be around for a long time to come,” he said. “Someone might tap me on the shoulder in the next 10 or 20 years.”
