Liberals 'gutless' on climate change: Swan
Treasurer Wayne Swan has branded the opposition "gutless" on climate change, saying the issue has become a tool for leadership jostling. Coalition MPs are meeting in Canberra tomorrow and Wednesday to formulate a policy response to the Rudd government's carbon emissions trading model. Division among Liberal MPs has exacerbated lingering leadership tensions. Mr Swan said today the opposition should face up to the problem of climate change. "The Liberals are so gutless they can't even front up to the problem," he told reporters.
