Aside from the Climate Change Commission, Tony Abbott also plans to abolish the Climate Change Authority and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation.

 

The Climate Change Authority was established to provide the government with independent advice regarding carbon emissions while Clean Energy Finance helps provide private investment in renewable energy resources.

 

One of the election campaign promises of Tony Abbott was to repeal carbon tax oncompanies tagged as the big polluters.  The carbon tax was introduced in Australia by former Prime Minister Julia Gillard from the Labour party.

Yes....my second post said - However, if the price on carbon is being abolished, the reasons for retaining the Authority are fewer.

.......They are no longer needed.

Now here the thing .....does our current Government have a Climate Change policy ..have they made a commitment to address Climate Change ?

In your opinion does removing a price on  Carbon control climate change ?   

Iza....Climate changes....it always has..always will.

I'll leave it to scientists and those who know what they are on about thanks siggie ...just as I will do with the Fluoride in water issue 

Tim Flannery's view

Tim Flannery defends Climate Commission after Government scrapping

Professor Flannery, who is also a former Australian of the Year, has defended the commission's role.

"We've stayed out of the politics and stuck to the facts," he said.

"As a result we've developed a reputation as a reliable apolitical source of facts on all aspects of climate change.

I believe that Australians have a right to know - a right to authoritative, independent and accurate information on climate change.

"We've just seen one of the earliest ever starts to the bushfire season in Sydney following the hottest twelve months on record."

However, Professor Flannery says he is not aware of any organisation that can do the same job - not even the CSIRO or universities.

Professor Flannery says, despite the difficulties he experienced as commissioner, he would gladly do it all again.

"There's always a cost to anything you do. Trying to make a difference, you are sure to make a lot of enemies," he told Lateline.

"Bloody oath it was worth it. It's like a game of rugby ... you know you have to cross that try line with the ball no matter what's thrown at you.

"[For us] that's making sure that my children, your children and even the sceptics' children have a decent quality of life into the future."
