About this episode
Spending is outpacing revenue, and the budget gap isn’t closing.
At the same time, Australia is drifting off track on its emissions targets for 2030, 2035 and 2050.
The Superpower Institute has a proposal: a revamped carbon pricing model it says could help fix both.
Australians rejected carbon pricing more than a decade ago.
The question now is whether the country is ready to reconsider?
Guests:
Ingrid Burford, Lead, Carbon Pricing and Policy, Superpower Institute
Ben Potter, contributing Editor at The Energy
Superpower Institute: The Case for Pricing Pollution: Reducing emissions, strengthening the economy, and delivering a fair share for Australians
