The carbon price regulator starts work. The Clean Energy Regulator is an independent statutory authority that will administer several schemes including the carbon pricing mechanism which starts on July 1. It was formally established and started work on Monday. It also will be responsible for national greenhouse and energy reporting, the renewable energy target, carbon farming initiatives and the national registry of emissions units. A list of the companies which will have to pay the carbon price will be published on the regulator's website.

More feel good legislation which will do nothing to curb the increasing concentration of atmospheric CO2, but descimate whatever heavy industry is left in Oz. If Australia was really, really serious about global warming, they would leave their vast coal reserves underground. As it turns out, Australia is the world's largest exporter of coal, according to the Wall Street Journal. online.wsj.com/article/SB100014240527487... So it's OK to sell coal to China so they can burn it, but it's not OK for Australia to burn that same coal. Nice going, Greenies.

Next, off to the Senate for further debate. The House voted 74 to 72 in favour of the package of 18 bills, which will see carbon priced at $23 per tonne from 1 July 2012, rising by 2.5 per cent each year during a three-year fixed price period until 1 July 2015, when the mechanism will transition to an emissions trading scheme with a price determined by the market. Approximately 500 Australian businesses will be required to pay for their carbon emissions under the plan, and much of the revenue collected will support investment in research, project development and employment growth in the clean energy industry.

The legislation is scheduled for introduction next Tuesday. The federal government will introduce its carbon price legislation into parliament next week. Lower house leader Anthony Albanese says parliament will start at noon (AEST) next Tuesday, two hours earlier than usual, in order for the bills to be introduced. "I have consulted the opposition on the change of time for the introduction as there are a large number of bills," he told reporters in Canberra. There are expected to be 13 separate bills in all. Mr Albanesesaid it was the government's intention to commence debate on the draft laws from Wednesday. "I have certainly indicated to the opposition that we don't intend to have votes on this legislation until the October sitting," he said. "There can be no argument about proper process with this legislation." The house leader said that with crossbench members having flagged their support, there was a majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate to pass the legislation.
