FED:Voters want environmental action

A national poll has found three out of four people support increasing federal government
spending on nature conservation.

Auspoll conducted a poll of more than two thousand voters for the Australian Conservation
Foundation and WWF and found 88 per cent are concerned neither Labor nor the coalition
has a well-funded national conservation plan.

WWF's Dr GILLY LLEWELLYN says the lack of vision on the environment has disappointed voters.

She says with two weeks left in the election campaign there's still a huge opportunity
for Australia's parties to show leadership on environmental issues.
