Fed: Abbott needs to get serious on climate change: Garrett

Environment Minister PETER GARRETT says opposition leader TONY ABBOTT needs to get
serious on climate change .. having been exposed as a pretender by his predecessor.

Former opposition leader MALCOLM TURNBULL has today written a blog saying the coalition's
policy on climate change has descended into a farce.

The attack follows reports shadow treasurer JOE HOCKEY has estimated the cost of Mr
ABBOTT's climate policy at 50 billion dollars.

Mr GARRETT says the Liberal Party is once again in disarray.

He says it's time Mr ABBOTT got fair dinkum on climate change because the national
interest depends on it.
