The Rudd Government's promises to bring transparency and accountability back to government have been exposed as empty rhetoric, Australian Greens Senator Christine Milne said today.

The Rudd Government's Green Paper has failed the test of true leadership by neutralising the carbon price signal and still providing no responsible target, Australian Greens climate change spokesperson, Senator Christine Milne, said today.

Delegates attending the fourth annual uranium roadshow in Fremantle tomorrow will be reminded that “WA does not dig uranium!’

Climate Change Minister Penny Wong has blundered in backing the Brumby government's Bass Coast desalination plant, Greens Leader Bob Brown said today.

Opposition Leader Brendan Nelson is taking the Coalition out of the political process to determine Australia's climate change trajectory, Greens Leader Bob Brown said today.
 
"Dr Nelson's demand that nothing happen before 2012 dismisses the world's scientists' calls for urgent action to halt climate change," Senator Brown said.

Australian Greens Senator Christine Milne was very pleased that her amendments to the 'carbon sink forests'
tax laws that were slipped through last week had drawn the vocal, if not active, support of Senators Joyce and Heffernan today.
