Ok moondoong. You cherry pick "I rule out a carbon tax." out of the statement and I'll cherry pick "I don't rule out the possibility of legislating a Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, a market-based mechanism,"
How the hell would you think an ETS would work? The actual "Carbon Tax" is actually an ETS with a fixed price to start off.
A Carbon Tax would be applying say 1% on taxable income to go to govt to then distribute how it sees fit. (more like Abbotts way imo).
Don't blame others because you cannot understand plain english.
