States set emissions trading deadline of 2010

Total Environment Centre today welcomed the announcement by all Australian states and territories that they would proceed with an emissions trading scheme if the Commonwealth failed to act.  "The current policy of PM Howard and his narrowly based taskforce is to delay and delay.  While there is still much to do on targets and coverage for a scheme, the pressure from the states is most helpful to the national debate."
