Then, perhaps, it would behoove Australia to examine why it should sign on to such a horribly flawed treaty like Kyoto, or participate in the Bali negotiations. If the US, China, and several other nations aren't going to participate (or the protocol looks like it will give "developing nations" a free pass again), then Australians should consider what's in their national interests.
