news said they doubted premier would get the vote by Aussies. The Aussie opposition leader announced his party would vote for it. There was a revolution in the party. Front benchers resigned so they could vote against the bill and the party leader will probably lose his job over it. But opposition leader Malcolm Turnbull has since faced an open revolt, with up to half of his party opposed to the carbon trade plan. Turnbull will face a challenge to his leadership early on Monday. If he loses, the opposition is likely to abandon its agreement with the government and vote down the laws. Opinion polls show Rudd would easily win an election with an increased majority, and Turnbull on Friday warned his party to support the laws or face a crushing electoral defeat. “The vast majority of Australians want to see action on climate change,” Turnbull told Australian radio. “If this legislation is knocked back, Kevin Rudd will have no choice but to go to a double dissolution election. This is a fundamental plank in his platform.” businessday.co.za
