The Productivity Commission’s independent review of the ‘effective carbon price’ in key competitor countries has identified 230 emissions-reducing policies in Australia more than 300 in the US and more than 100 in Britain.
There are a myriad of taxes carbon permit quotas subsidies and energy efficiency rules that work to raise the effective price of carbon-intensive production to discourage consumer demand and to subsidise less carbon-emitting alternatives.
It would be good to get a list of all the energy subsidies in Australia.
