In its first term, the Australian Labor Party is unable to pass the emissions trading market-based approach to limit pollution, which, consequently, aroused questions regarding the party's political capacity to launch a neoliberal-inspired policy. The Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) is delayed until 2013.
However, Labor is required to search for alternatives to reduce Australia's emissions and transitions and quit being distracted by the national climate progressive change debate focusing exclusively on capping and trading carbon.
The appointment of Julia Gillard as the Australia's Prime Minister opens doors for the Labor Party to adapt to the new climate policy, and get back on track for the coming elections.
The government now is shifting its attention toward power consumption, concentrating its efforts on the prices of electricity and on ensuring accessible and economical renewable energy. This approach will give power to the nation, as it will protect it from unpredicted climatic changes and will introduce a clean energy economy.
Such initiative will build a new population that changes the political landscape to favor renovated climate and energy policies.
Opposition Climate Action Spokesman, Greg Hunt, said, "I think the government will announce two words - electricity pricing".
Small Business Minister Craig Emerson told SkyNews that it is vital that they are a part of this initiative to reduce pollution and increase clean energy.
