It has taken more than a decade of wrangling for politicians to finally deliver some detailed policy to the floor of Parliament. Yet, when action appears close enough to touch, there is further delay or prospects of more unconditional handouts to big polluters. An Auspoll survey taken last week shows that only 13 per cent think Australia’s Parliament is moving too fast on addressing climate change. Around half believe progress is too slow and only a solid, sceptical core of seven per cent thinks we should do nothing at all. feedback@thepunch.com.au (John Connor) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/enough-people-are-sick-of-dithering-on-climate-change/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/enough-people-are-sick-of-dithering-on-climate-change/#item876 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 00:55:27 +0000 John Connor | Author bios | The Punch
