TREASURER Wayne Swan flies to ... Bali today carrying an ultra-cautious message on targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

... Mr Swan will set the stage for Australia to resist growing pressure to sign up to a 2020 target.

Boring, boring "ultra-cautious", "Australia resists". Sound familiar?

With an economist making the review the outcome is predictable. Tim Flannery might have been better. Would an economist be given the job of planning for war?

Stern said 1% of GDP would be affected. Garnaut might say no, it's 1.476%. Fiddle away while I'm choking on smoke from the bushfires.

They just don't get what a pickle we're in.

Yes - all to familiar unfortunately.

Hopefully this is just a bargaining position for the early stages rather than a sign of things to come...
