THE BRUMBY Government says that it is disappointing that opposition parties are failing to act in the national interest and support the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS).
The government believes the Liberal, National and Greens Political parties are standing in the way of a scheme which would contribute to a national emissions reduction, and create new job and investment opportunities.
Minister for Environment and Climate Change Gavin Jennings says Victoria paved the way for the development of the CPRS by commissioning the Garnaut review into national options to reduce emissions, during the years of climate change failure under the Howard Government.
Jennings says that now a Commonwealth Government is taking action on climate change the parties should stop playing politics.
