SYDNEY (AP) — Australia's Senate has rejected legislation to set up an emissions trading system in the country to reduce greenhouse gas pollution.
The Senate voted Tuesday to defeat a bill that is the centerpiece of the government's plans to slash Australia's emissions by up to 25 percent below 2000 levels by 2020 as part of global efforts to fight global warming.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd wanted the legislation passed before he attends next week's U.N. summit on climate change in Copenhagen so he could portray Australia as a leader on the issue.
The government's next step is unclear. Rudd could use the failure of the bill to call early elections, but is unlikely to do so before next year, when elections are due anyway.

Polar Bears are just Brown Bears who went north and changed color so the seals couldn’t see them as easy ... If they all died all we would have to do is just convince some Brown Bears the easy pickens was up north ...
Yes it’s true, started about 225,000 years ago.

BRAVO!! Thank you, Liberals in the Aussie Senate. You have struck a strong blow for liberty and freedom and away from socialism. Kevin Rudd can go suck an egg along with his fellow traveling AGW alarmists.

Australia or India may become the new home of Freedom as Obama and the liberal fascists destroy liberty here in the US.
