McCain pledges to renew Australian alliance
Sep 23rd, 2008 | By David Harper | Category: Australia, Election 2008The Australian: Australia has looked to the US for leadership on global climate change and it is “time for us to answer that call”, John McCain says.
Writing in today’s The Australian, the US Republican presidential candidate says he will work with the Rudd Government to establish a global framework that would encourage China and India to become part of the solution to man-made climate change. Senator McCain says he is committed to a market-based cap-and-trade system aimed at reducing carbon emissions. And he wants a closer bilateral partnership on other key issues such as nuclear proliferation, trade liberalisation and combating terrorism.
