Age: Some honeymoon. The first post-election Herald-Nielsen Poll is a reality check for Coalition MPs who think the election was an emphatic vote for their people and policies. It wasn't. It was a referendum on a rabble that could not muster the collective wit, will and discipline to govern itself and, as a result, was ruled ineligible to govern the country. Now the rabble has been evicted, the message to Tony Abbott and his team is simple: don't get ahead of yourselves; you have to earn the people's...

AAP: The family of an Australian Greenpeace activist behind bars in Russia is urging the Abbott government to intervene before his bail hearing appeal.

Last week a Russian court added three months to his pre-trial detention. He is the only one of 30 crew members involved in the Arctic oil protest who has been denied release. His wife Christine...

Guardian: The prime minister, Tony Abbott, has rejected a call by fellow Commonwealth leaders to set up a new climate fund to help poor nations. Abbott also found himself at odds with the British prime minister, David Cameron, over his strong defence of Sri Lanka's efforts to address alleged human rights abuses and war crimes. As the Commonwealth heads of government meeting (Chogm) wrapped up in Colombo on Sunday, Abbott joined Canada in rejecting a decision by the summit to establish a green capital...

Tony Abbott stifling Australia's climate change ambitions
2013-11-13 03:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sydney Morning Herald: Tony Abbott has essentially killed off any pretence his government is prepared to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 by more than the five per cent currently promised. Sure, he left a little wriggle room in his comments on Tuesday. The target will not increase "in the absence of very serious like-binding commitments from other countries," he said, adding, "and there's no evidence of that." The Climate Change Authority says the five per cent target for emissions cuts was "inadequate" and should...
