Abbot government has not bothered to do any modelling to compare its carbon policies with the ones they’re abolishing
Lack of carbon models ‘shocks’ Xenophon, Herald Sun AAP NOVEMBER 26, 2013
INDEPENDENT Senator Nick Xenophon is “shocked” Treasury hasn’t done modelling to see if taxpayer dollars would be better spent reducing high greenhouse gas emissions activity or boosting clean energy generation.
That is what he told a Senate inquiry on Tuesday that was investigating laws to abolish the carbon tax, the Climate Change Authority and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation after the coalition government used its numbers to pass the package of repeal bills in the lower house……
A Treasury official said the department had not undertaken an analysis of the effectiveness of different programs for delivering abatement and its impact on prices, but would do so if the government asked……..
Senator Xenophon told the inquiry chairman he was surprised the modelling had not been done.
“I must say, chair, I am quite surprised, shocked in fact, that the treasury hasn’t taken any modelling in respect of this.” http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/breaking-news/lack-of-carbon-models-shocks-xenophon/story-fni0xqi4-1226769046270
