Climate change: Carbon pricing agreement

Greens Senator Christine Milne says:

This will be good for the community who face out-of-control energy price rises, it will stimulate the economy, create jobs and, of course, help protect the climate which sustains us all.

However, a carbon price on its own is not going to be enough to drive real change and job-creating innovation. We will need to encourage clean alternatives with supportive policies.

Thank you so much for your support and I look forward to working with you in the coming months to make sure we get the best possible climate action.

This is a big step forward for climate action in Australia. For the first time, everybody in Australia will have a clear signal that the old, polluting ways will have to change and a new, exciting era is set to begin.
