Greg Hunt denies carbon tax by stealth

New safeguard measures to boost the Coalition’s Direct Action plan on climate change are not an emissions trading scheme or carbon tax by stealth, Environment Minister Greg Hunt says.

Mr Hunt yesterday rejected claims a “secret” emissions trading scheme had been buried in the Coalition’s policies, which have been roundly criticised by environment groups as too little, too late. Mr Hunt said there were clear reasons why the Coalition “safeguards mechanisms” could not be considered a carbon trading scheme.
