Tim Flannery - Howard Climate Plan "A Great Big 'Trust Me 'Till After The Election'"

AUSTRALIAN of the year Tim Flannery has accused the Howard Government of leaving out crucial details from its climate change plans.

Prof Flannery said the Government had failed voters by not setting a target for reducing carbon emissions.

"The current trading scheme that we've had talked about in recent days adds up to my mind to a great big 'trust me' till after the election," he told the National Press Club in Canberra. "You, as a voter in that Australian election, have every right to hear the detail of how that carbon scheme will be implemented."

"It seems to me that a lot of political announcements that are made at the moment are big on aspiration but pitifully short on detail," he said.
