"It's utter madness to try to curb emissions while subsidising fossil fuels".

"Given the doubts about government's ability to manage an emissions scheme, here's a simpler, more transparent solution. Scrap all the de facto subsidies for fossil fuels, slash the budget deficit by $12 billion a year and watch the pressure to cut emissions take effect. If that sounds radical, it just shows how badly government policy has been compromised by vested interests."
