Lessons from government past failures on climate policy

Comments on Greg Combet “Put a price on a cleaner future”, 13/10/2010, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/put-a-price-on-a-cleaner-future/story-e6frg6zo-1225937875487


Greg, some points to consider for lessons:

Government can get the price wrong or unnecessarily higher than it should or could be at taxpayers’ expenses, so it is not just a matter of a price. We need the best and lowest price to be costly effectively and efficient!

Labor tradition of tough reforms – what about the abandon of the ETS in last term?

Climate change: is the science a complete certainty?

The CPRS: government needs to consider why both the coalition and the Greens opposed it. Further was the CPRS a good or a flawed approach? It can’t and shouldn’t simply think any scheme is good!

There are more points the government should consider.
