the CCC's comments would be welcome.

"The CCC are in favour of many good things which will mitigate the worst
effects of climate change in the long term but so are the Greens, the
Socialist Alliance and the Democrats.

However, the CCC intend to leave ALL OTHER polices to the "conscience vote"
of any candidate who is elected. This tends to really worry me. How will
their ideas and policies be implemented? Where is their financial plan? What
say the CCC on health care? Where do they stand on Industrial Relations and
Workplace Agreements?

What also worries me is that they leave the door open for the nuclear
industry when they state:

..."Does nuclear power have a role to play in a climate change reduction
strategy? James Lovelock, the founder of Gaia Hypothesis, thinks that it can
be a useful element in a greenhouse reduction strategy for some countries.
Others, such as Australian scientist and climate change campaigner, Emeritus
Professor Ian Lowe sees nuclear power as a cure as bad as the disease.
This debate is unavoidable and essential. The CCC encourages our best and
brightest minds to state their cases - realising that any debate on Nuclear
Power immediately involves alternative power."
In other words... when it comes to the nuclear industry and nuclear power...
they sit on the fence. Let others worry about that in an informed and "open"
debate? History clearly shows the "openness" of the nuclear industry.
