Vic: Pollution report a political stunt, Turnbull says

Federal Environment Minister MALCOLM TURNBULL .. says a report saying Australia's failing
to meet its pollution emission targets .. is nothing more than a political stunt.

Mr TURNBULL's totally dismissed claims made by The Climate Institute .. which says
Australia's likely to overshoot its Kyoto Protocol target of producing 108 per cent of
1990 greenhouse gas emissions by 2010.

He says Australia IS on target .. and the institute's only motivation was to get a
cheap headline.

Mr TURNBULL says the report's wrong because it hasn't taken into account the whole
of the carbon balance .. and has expressed views about 2007 without any reliable basis.
