Brown asks for Senate support

Australian Senate motion of support

Greens Senator Bob Brown moved a motion of support for the Newcastle Council climate change resolution on Monday in the Federal Parliament.

The motion of support was voted down overwhelmingly in the Senate, without any debate.

Senator Brown says he is disappointed the major parties appear to be ignoring climate change.

Both Labor and Liberal have ignored the overwhelming community support for action on climate change.
