Australia Carbon Tax, Global Green Energy Reforms
The Australian government, led by Prime Minister Julia Gillard, introduced a carbon tax set at 23 Australian dollars per tonne targeting the country's top polluters. Critics argue the scheme is an economic transformation tool rather than an environmental one, noting that similar green reforms in the UK are expected to increase energy bills by 30%.
