I'll have to say I was starting to get worried that Penny Wong might cave into the lobbyists but today we have some confirmation that she has no intentions of doing this. Here here. It is very important for the integrity of the Australian Emissions trading scheme that it be based on a completely level playing field.


The press buzz is that today she will state in a speech at Centre for the Economic Development of Australia that there will be no preferential treatment.

Here is a link and a snippet from an article CLICK HERE

THE Minister for Climate Change, Penny Wong, has given her strongest signal yet that the country's coal-fired electricity producers will have to pay for their greenhouse gas emissions when the emissions trading system begins.

"The more compensation or free permits given to some firms, the harder it is for others," Senator Wong will tell the Centre for the Economic Development of Australia in a speech today.

Ill post a copy of the speech when I track it down.


cheers
