Protest the emissions trading scheme deal

In the mean time you might like to voice your opposition to this scandal:
Demand deep emission cuts - say no to Rudd's emissions trading scheme!
Murray St mall (near Carillon overpass)
4.30- 5.30pm, Thursday November 26.


In a desperate bid to get its deeply flawed emissions trading scheme passed through parliament, Labor has offered sweeteners to the Coalition, to
* deliver an extra $7 billion to the biggest polluters
* cut $6 billion in compensation to households
* extend the number of corporate polluters eligible for handouts or exempt from cutting emissions.
If passed, the scheme will lock in low emissions targets that will undermine meaningful negotiations at Copenhagen in December. If adopted by the rest of the world, these targets would accelerate global warming well out of our control.
