Senate inquiry into Abbott’s “Direct Action” policy on Climate Change

Abbott-fiddling-global-warmLabor, Greens join forces to set up Senate inquiry on Government’s Direct Action policy  By political reporter Jane Norman ABC News 7 Dec 2013,   Labor and the Greens have moved to establish a Senate inquiry into the Government’s Direct Action policy.

The multi-billion-dollar emissions reduction policy would provide polluters with financial incentives to cut emissions.

The inquiry will examine whether it is the most cost-effective way of cutting greenhouse gases and will report back by late March.

Greens leader Christine Milne says the inquiry will expose the policy as a sham……

Labor and the Greens have already vowed to block the Government’s moves to repeal the carbon tax in the Senate.http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-12-07/labor-greens-join-forces-on-emissions-inquiry/5141872
