Greens Leader Bob Brown today said that Australia should begin the task of tackling climate change with government change.
 
"The Howard government has had its head in the sand for 10 years. Now the Prime Minister wants nuclear power – a dangerous, third-rate option which comes with a package including waste-dumps, increased terror risks and the attendant threat of nuclear weapons technology. Nuclear can produce only a fraction of the electricity much more quickly and cheaply available from energy efficiency," Senator Brown said.
 
"John Howard is last century. This nation needs regime change to tackle climate change," Senator Brown said.
