Protest the emissions trading scheme deal
Murray St mall (near Carillon overpass)

In a desperate bid to get its deeply flawed emissions trading scheme passed through parliament, Labor has offered sweeteners to the Coalition, to
* deliver an extra $7 billion to the biggest polluters
* cut $6 billion in compensation to households
* extend the number of corporate polluters eligible for handouts or exempt from cutting emissions.
If passed, the scheme will lock in low emissions targets that will undermine meaningful negotiations at Copenhagen in December. If adopted by the rest of the world, these targets would accelerate global warming well out of our control.
