Greens offer Gillard to vote in a carbon tax
Greens make Gillard a climate offer,Tradingroom.com.au, By Cathy Alexander June 29 2010, Pressure is mounting on Prime Minister Julia Gillard to reveal what she will do on climate change, with the Australian Greens making her an offer. Greens leader Bob Brown has written to Ms Gillard offering to vote in a fast-start, temporary carbon price within three months of the election.
Senator Brown appeared willing to negotiate, flagging in the letter that the carbon price would not include a target to reduce emissions – a controversial issue – and there could be compensation paid to industry.
“The Greens are opening a new door to a new prime minister for new action on climate change,” Senator Brown said in a statement.
The Greens may hold the balance of power in the Senate after the election. News: Australian Stock, Share & Commodity Markets News – Tradingroom.com.au
