MP INTRODUCES BILL

Member for New England, Tony Windsor, has introduced a bill in federal parliament to address issues relating to climate change.

The Independent MP put forward the legislation last night.

He said ” what it does is bring to the parliament the people’s voice on this issue. Australians are concerned about the legacy they will leave in the climate we currently have.”

Mr Windsor says the bill would guarantee Australia meets its obligations to the Kyoto Protocol, set mandatory targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and ensure more investment in renewable energy sources.

The legislation would also ban the use of nuclear power reactors in Australia.
