FIRST they took away his responsibility for climate change. Now, in another apparent rebuff, Peter Garrett headed for extinction..lol
Australia's new Minister for the Environment, Peter Garrett, has been told he will not even get to answer questions on climate change in Parliament.
Days after the newly created ministry of Climate Change and Water was handed to Senator Penny Wong, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has snubbed Mr Garrett again by revealing that Treasurer Wayne Swan will deal with climate change questions on Senator Wong's behalf when they arise in the lower house.
The latest humiliation for Mr Garrett was seized on by Opposition Leader Brendan Nelson, who said he found it extraordinary that the Environment Minister would not be asked questions in relation to climate change.
