No intention to call snap poll, Australian PM Rudd
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said Friday he had no intention of calling a snap election, told local radio.
"I have not the slightest intention of going to an early poll. I don't think people like that. I think they want you to serve the term that you've been elected for," said Rudd.
豪連邦議会上院は前日、政府が提出した温暖化ガス排出削減に向けた「排出権取引」の導入に関する法案を否決。豪州では、法案が上院で3カ月の期間を経て2度否決されるか2度採決が延期された場合、政府は上下両院を解散し、総選挙を実施することができる。
The upper house Senate Thursday rejected Rudd's emissions scheme after rival conservative, green and independent lawmakers joined forces to oppose it. If the Senate blocks or rejects the legislation a second time, after an interval of three months, it would hand Rudd a trigger for an early poll in Australia.
