New powerful climate alliance to drive tough and fair solutions
For the first time peak social, union, research and environmental organisations have formed an historic and powerful alliance to tackle climate change. >>Joint Statement Attached The Southern Cross Climate Coalition – launching today, is pushing for climate policy to be fairly implemented and maximise the opportunities for investment and jobs growth whilst emphasising that all sections of society have an urgent responsibility to act. The Southern Cross Climate Coalition is an alliance of the Climate Institute, The Australian Conservation Foundation, The Australian Council of Social Service, and the Australian Council of Trade Unions. ACTU President Sharan Burrow said “Our groups share a platform that seeks to ensure climate policies are broadly based and everyone does their fair bit at time when we know the Rudd Government faces a legion of corporate lobbyists pushing for special deals.’ “We need to protect vulnerable families and trade exposed industries but we also need to recognise that green jobs and climate friendly industries provide Australia with economic opportunities,” she continued.

She emphasises that “ parties should not be encouraged to bring inapposite claims on the grounds that they are cheaper ” because this can backfire. Here, the respondent sought a cheaper avenue for relief by bringing a non-use application before the Trade Marks Office as opposed to bringing a revocation action in the Federal Court. Justice Gordon ordered costs against the respondent for that part of the proceeding that had been misclassified. Along similar lines, in the recently decided case of E. & J. Gallo Winery v Lion Nathan Australia Pty Limited [2008] FCA 934 (20 June 2008) , discussed on the Australian Trade Marks Law Blog last week, Lion Nathan pleaded that their client had used ‘Barefoot Radler’ as its sign but wanted to argue at trial that the sign was ‘Barefoot Radler’ plus the device of a bare foot. The Court confined them to their defence as pleaded. These cases highlight, in different ways, ...
