“Greens leader Adam Bandt says that under the deal he struck with Labor, Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen now has special powers and calls them a ‘pollution trigger’, Ms Markson said.
“This would give Chris Bowen the power to stop fossil fuel expansion if it would lift pollution above legislated targets.”“Coal companies – Whitehaven, New Hope, Bowen Coking Coal and Peabody Australia – say that Labor’s concessions to the Greens will increase energy prices, destroy jobs and kill foreign investment.”

A professor from one of the universities has already said let’s call it by it’s name a carbon tax. This is going to see businesses shut their doors again and unemployment rise. We have all been here before
So they might have to pay tax
Really, who would have thought that?
Who’s Sharri backing these days.
They wanted a carbon tax and the people voted against it. Labour have always treated the people with contempt
That was obvious even before the last election but all the fools kept drinking the koolaid , as often said be careful what you wish for folks
