Breakfast

The road map for Australia's plans to cut carbon emissions over coming decades should be clearer today with the release of a 'Targets and Trajectories' report by the government's climate change review chief, Professor Ross Garnaut.

Speculation has been rife for days that Professor Garnaut is about to deliver the government a 'soft' short-term carbon target for 2020. After the Senate yesterday blocked an increase in the luxury car tax, questions are being asked about the prospects for an effective emissions trading scheme ever becoming law. One of those who will be very much at the negotiating table is Greens climate change spokesperson, Senator Christine Milne.
