So true Bushpig .....
Plenty of so-called Aust. legislation over the years has been nothing but kneejerk reaction, unnescessarily implemented, photocopied UN / Euro rulings that are generally not applicable to here.
Our pollution contribution to the world should be about the same as the city of New York given that the population numbers are about the same ..... Which makes Aust. just a small fish in a big pond .... altho our pollies seem to think they are real big frogs in small puddles
