Paper to the Carbon Market Institute Workshop, Melbourne
24 October 2013

Speech by Greg Hunt

Thank you for coming here today. I appreciate the opportunity to speak with you about the Coalition Government's plan to tackle climate change and reduce pressure on electricity prices.

##We agree on the science
##We agree on the targets
##We agree on market mechanisms

If ever there was a problem requiring new solutions to be unearthed, it is climate change.

The fact is that climate change is driven by greenhouse gas emissions, and these emissions are a by-product of the things that improve our quality of life.

In my view, this is a problem that is tailor-made for a genuine, light touch, market-based solution.

For this reason, I am very glad to be talking to you about the market-based mechanism that Australia will employ.
