Fed: Gov position on greenhouse targets hypocritical: Hunt

The federal opposition has accused the government of hypocrisy .. over its negotiation
tactics at the Bali climate change conference.

Australian negotiators flagged "strong support" for developed countries to negotiate
slashing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 40 per cent over the next decade.

But the government's still insisting it'll wait until it receives a report by economist
ROSS GARNAUT next year .. before setting binding targets.

Coalition environment spokesman GREG HUNT has told Sky News .. the RUDD government's
adopted the former HOWARD government's position .. which it criticised in opposition.
