Milne confirms climate talks breakthrough
Deputy Greens leader Christine Milne has confirmed reports of a carbon tax breakthrough, saying the Multi-Party Climate Change Committee is "on track" to have the scheme starting in July next year. Independent MP Tony Windsor says a deal may be signed off "next week". It is understood agreement has been reached over the amount of compensation to be paid to industry, and a guarantee the carbon tax will switch to a market-based emissions trading scheme in 2015. It is believed the Government has agreed to the Greens' proposal for an independent climate change commission to advise on what ...
Greens Deputy Milne to National Farmers` Federation Congress
Let`s Grasp This Opportunity Addressing the National Farmers' Federation Congress today, Australian Greens Deputy Leader, Senator Christine Milne, urged farmers to seize this tremendous opportunity to shape their own future instead of adapting to changes forced onto them. The Greens and rural independents who will share the balance of power in the new parliament also share elements of a positive vision for rural and regional Australia. "What a great opportunity that our parliament is getting a renewed focus on rural and regional Australia just as the vital issues of climate change, ...
Milne hopes for carbon price compromise
Greens Senator Christine Milne says she is hopeful the major parties will be open to compromise on the issue of a carbon price. Prime Minister Julia Gillard says she will not rule in or out the concept of a carbon tax, despite rejecting the idea before the election. She says the Government will instead consider various options through a new climate change committee that will be set up. The terms of reference for that committee will be finalised by the end of the month. Senator Milne has welcomed the changed approach, and says she had a useful meeting with the new Climate Change ...

Fairer, Cheaper, Cleaner: Fixing Australia's Energy Network The Australian Greens will establish a new federal government agency that will lower electricity bills, save energy and cut the pollution driving global warming. Greens Leader Senator Christine Milne said the Energy Savings Agency will make Australia’s energy system fairer, cheaper and cleaner. “The Federal and State Governments have failed to prevent unnecessary spending on new electricity poles and wires,” Senator Milne said. “Make no mistake, several state governments want to maximise profit from their electricity assets. Selling less electricity is not in their interest which is why reform of the energy market is too slow and why intervention is vital. “Nearly a quarter of all our electricity bills pay for the cost of installing infrastructure that we have built to supply electricity for just 40 hours a year during peak demand periods. “For every $100 of your electricity bill, $51 is for poles and wires and, of course, househ |

Food Plan Needs to Tackle Supermarket Domination The government's National Food Plan needs to fix the supermarket duopoly and its impacts on food producers and consumers if it's to have any credibility, the Australian Greens said today. "For too long governments have failed to stand up to the two big supermarkets, and our farmers and other food producers have suffered as a result," Australian Greens Leader Christine Milne said. Greens competition spokesperson, Senator Peter Whish-Wilson, said Australia needs competition policy reform if local producers are to overcome the dominance of the supermarket duopoly and get a fair price for their goods. "The ACCC needs a boost to its powers to ensure a competitive market place." Senator Whish-Wilson said. "This includes a temporary ban on expansion by Coles and Woolworths to give the ACCC a chance to thoroughly assess the effects of their market dominance. "We want laws strengthened to protect farmers and small business from sudden changes to prices and conditions in supply contracts. When s |
Greens Join South Australian Students to Stop Uni Cuts Australian Greens Leader Senator Christine Milne and Senator Sarah Hanson-Young have joined South Australian universities and students today to oppose Labor and Tony Abbott’s $2.3 billion university cuts. Senator Milne said slashing funding to universities will hurt 70,000 South Australian students who will face more crowded classrooms and extra pressure due to cuts. “Labor’s plan to make the start-up scholarships a part of HECS will add additional burdens for up to 18,000 of South Australia’s most disadvantaged students,” Senator Milne said. “If Australia is to move from a resource based economy to a knowledge and service based economy we have to invest in education from early childhood right through to tertiary level. “Prime Minister Gillard’s cuts make no sense. Why would you take money from university students to pay for schools? “Tony Abbott is even worse. He’s planning a double whammy by cuttin |
