The South Australian Government has been rebuffed by its opponents in the Upper House over its greenhouse gas emission targets. Premier Mike Rann says the 20 per cent cut by 2020 - which the Liberals had proposed last year - would be too hard to achieve, an opinion Opposition Leader Iain Evans does not share.
The Greens said the government had taken an 'extraordinary' position and a business as usual approach which would increase greenhouse pollution in SA over the next 10 to 15 years. Democrats member Sandra Kanck said there was no choice but to strengthen the bill and move to a low-carbon economy. She attacked the state's leading industry and commerce group, Business SA, as a 'greenhouse dinosaur' for opposing the interim target.
