Evidence: Environmentalists for Nuclear Energy Australia, formerly called Conservatives for Climate and Environment, was a political party registered in Australia from 2007 to 2010. EFN-Australia referred to itself as a not-for-profit environmental association, registered as a political party. The party supported greater protection for native forests and opposed the Gunns pulp mill in Tasmania, which had the support of both major parties. The party focused on environmental policies including the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol and an 80 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Established in 2007 as Conservatives for Climate and Environment, the organisation was based on support for the economic policies of the governing Liberal and National parties, however with emphasis on the importance of combating climate change.
