AUDIO: Government’s carbon plan will fail – new independent report

Hear-This-wayReport finds a 300 million tonne shortfall in the government’s carbon plan http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/breakfast/300-million-tonne-shortfall-in-government-carbon-plan-report/5517734 Thursday 12 June 2014

The government has committed to cutting carbon pollution by a minimum of 5 per cent by 2020.

But the first independent report since the budget calculates that the government will fall more than 70 per cent short of it’s promise – potentially buying as little as three million tonnes of carbon abatement every year, if the price it’s willing to pay is $10 a tonne or less.
