Fed: Opposition says PM has risked future climate talks with US
The RUDD government is hailing the Bali climate change talks as a success .. but the
opposition says future negotiations with America are in jeopardy.
Climate Change Minister PENNY WONG says the world now has two years to negotiate a
comprehensive agreement on cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
But her opposition counterpart GREG HUNT says KEVIN RUDD's pledge to pressure the United
States into signing a post-Kyoto agreement has left Australia with less influence and
leverage .. and the US more isolated.
Senator WONG's told ABC radio while the Bali discussions were feisty .. there was an
overall willingness for compromise that resulted in a hard-won consensus.
