The price of success
Age environment reporter Melissa Fyfe chooses Australia Day to rub our collective noses in our failure as environmental managers. Australia apparently comes a slovenly 20th in the Environmental Performance Index. Care to guess who comes first?
"While we come in at 20 out of 133 nations, our neighbours across the Tasman must be doing something spectacular. New Zealand is, environmentally, the best performing nation in the world."
This is presumably the same New Zealand which, as a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol, is currently facing an A$934 million bill for its heinous carbon debts. If this is how Kyoto treats its success stories, how must it penalize its failures?
