Make a submission on the Climate Change Response Amendment Bill

The Climate Change Response (Moderated Emissions Trading) Amendment Bill 85-1 (2009) is about to go into select committee. Submissions to the select committee are due by Oct 13.

The bill effectively seems to involve subsidising polluters for $2 billion/year until 2030, and not doing much that is effective about climate change. This is pretty shit, really, and worth opposing.

Thus it seems well worth every 350-inclined person in the country to submit to this select committee.

You can download the bill here.

You can make an online submission here.

Advice on making submissions is here.

Norightturn has some analysis on it here, here and here.
