Nelson faces dissent on emissions policy
BRENDAN Nelson's daring bid to harden the Opposition's emissions trading policy is facing strong resistance from his most senior colleagues and the business community. Shadow treasurer Malcolm Turnbull, environment spokesman Greg Hunt and deputy leader Julie Bishop are set to fight the change at tomorrow's shadow ministry meeting. In a further blow to Dr Nelson, the electricity industry has accused the Opposition of potentially putting the country's energy supply at risk if it fails to give investors certainty by nominating a date by which it would start emissions trading.
