The ALP has released its climate change policy for the 2016 federal election.
The policy includes a commitment to 50% of electricity coming from renewable energy by 2030.
The Climate Change Action Plan includes a commitment to an emissions trading scheme but without a fixed price. The policy says: “Labor’s plan does not include a carbon tax or a fixed price on pollution.”
The policy booklets are shown below.
Email statement to supporters by Bill Shorten.
Opposition Leader Bill ShortenToday I launched Labor’s plan to tackle the devastating consequences of climate change.
The cost of refusing to take real action on climate change will be shocking for Australia and our economy. It will hurt the economy, mean more pollution and less investment. The Labor Party I lead will not stand by and let that happen.
