Fletcher should clear the air on climate change

Australian Greens Leader Bob Brown has called on the Liberal's Bradfield candidate Paul Fletcher to clear the air on whether he is a climate sceptic.

Senator Brown made this call after Mr Fletcher avoided answering the question put to him by a journalist today at a press conference with Malcolm Turnbull.

"The voters of Bradfield have a right to know exactly where Mr Fletcher stands on this issue of fundamental importance, just as they know exactly where the Australian Greens and their candidate Susie Gemmell stands," Senator Brown said.
