The Wire

It’s Hobart today for the Senate committee enquiring into climate policy. The committee’s job is to decide whether the government’s proposed carbon pollution reduction scheme is going to work for the environment – and whether its going to work for the economy. As you would expect all of Australia’s energy companies, big and small, green and otherwise, have been lining up to have their say. Greens Senator Christine Milne is on the committee . She says many companies say they woukld have to take business offshore but the committee is not convinced that is as easy as it sounds.
