Australia, voters concerned about climate change


Labor and the Liberals are "missing on climate"

A poll commissioned in late July by the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) and the WWF has revealed that 78% of Australian voters climate change is one of the biggest problems and who think that the choices of the parties on this issue may influence their next vote.

A particularly bad news for the Labour Party that had made the prudent (and review) than its previous one environmental policies of the central points of his campaign. Almost half of Australians thought that global warming and will have a strong influence in the choice of the party to be voted on, with high rates among young people and with a nice piece of the electorate that Labor seems to be ready to hijack their vote on the Greens.

ACF emphasizes that the problem of climate influence the vote of '81% of voters "soft"
(undecided) voters and 84% of young people (18-24 years). Pollution and climate change will also weigh heavily on the voting intentions of electors "Rusted" (rusty, that the faithful), with an unexpected 70% of liberal voters and a high '85% of Labour voters and 90% of Green voters .

The Labour Prime Minister Julia Gillard seems to pay its agreement with the major Australian mining companies and climate change and postponing the adoption of a law sull'emissions trading is proving to be rocks on which the risk of breaking his hopes of election victory . Hardly enough to Gillard the proposal for a climate policy focuses on "Citizens' Assembly" to set a carbon price, because that choice has been criticized by one of the polled citizens. Labor, if it wants to recover, will try to "reassess" his climate policy in the last days of campaigning that remain. It seems possible that Labour propose new incentives to discourage deforestation and increased funding for the "climate schemes".

The only concession to the conservative Coalition Abbott environment is the promise of investing in the storage of CO2 in soil and trees if the Liberals win the election. However, a step ahead of the absolute denial of global warming of only a few months ago.

Referring to the two major parties, Labour and Liberal-Conservatives, the ACF executive director Don Henry, said "This survey showed that public opinion is not satisfied and both parties are" missing on Climate ". Ms. Gillard and Mr Abbott are not taking climate change seriously, but the Australian voters think they should do it. " According to Don Henry "The Australians are looking for leadership to help us make the transition from an economy dependent on pollution in a more clean. The parties have to compete with each other in an attempt to demonstrate how they want to invest in clean, put a price on pollution and make clean energy cheaper. "
