Direct Action seems to about 'mate's rates' on emissions

D

irect Action appears to be about “mate’s rates” for Australia’s worst polluters.

The Guardian reports, “So-called ‘safeguards mechanism’ will at best mean business as usual for Australia’s major polluters and at worst lead to far more greenhouse gas output.”

The story - “Direct Action set up to allow large rise in emissions, says Climate Institute” – reports, “The final element of the Abbott government’s Direct Action climate change policy will at best mean major polluters continue business as usual and at worst lead to significant increases in their greenhouse gas emissions according to the Climate Institute thinktank.”
