From Eric Davies

Morley, Australia

On behalf of all fair-minded Australians I apologise for our government’s
behaviour at the Kyoto greenhouse emissions conference.

Their strategy was brutally simple: we are a relatively small population
of high polluters and we are quite prepared to scuttle this conference if we are
not given an unreasonable licence to pollute. This government has been
bloody-minded on a number of sensitive issues and hopefully they will reap their
just rewards at next year’s election.
