New Climate Change Song for Australia: ‘Rogue State’
October 30
My friend Dave has written a little song about the way in which Australia has come to be seen as a deviant outsider, a rogue state, for not ratifying the Kyoto Protocol. At first Australia argued at the international negotiating table to be able to increase its emissions, and then the government refused to ratify, even with the lenient concessions we were to get. Dave’s song is about the terrible loss of face the Howard government has brought the nation on the stage of international diplomacy.
