Media Alert: Rudd's 5% White Flag on Climate Change
When: 11am Tuesday 16 December
Where: Commonwealth Government Offices 70 Phillip Street, Sydney
Speakers: Cate Faehrmann (NCC), Nina Hall (CANA), John Kaye (Greens MP)
Greens NSW MP John Kaye said: "Kevin Rudd has run up the white flag on climate change with cuts to emissions as low as 5%, massive handouts to the big polluters and a free kick to the coal industry.
"Australia must pull its weight in the international effort to reduce global emissions. The Greens are calling for a 40% reduction by 2020 to save the planet from a climate catastrophe.
"Today's event will be part of a nationwide protest organised by the Greens in all capital cities and major centres," Dr Kaye said.
