5/11/2008 - Federal Treasurer Wayne Swan has dismissed the advice of a leading climate change economist to delay its proposed emissions trading scheme (ETS) until international negotiations are completed.
Warwick McKibbin has urged the government to delay its planned 2010 start to an ETS by at least a year.
The opposition on Tuesday backed Professor McKibbin, who is also a Reserve Bank board member, saying the government should await the outcome of a United Nations meeting on climate change in Copenhagen in November 2009.
