Dear Senator,
Thank you for your time.
We the Australian people have entrusted you to make the
right decisions for our future.
Urgent action on solutions against the climate crisis are
the most important thing for us to be doing now.
Please protect the existing carbon price and ETS
legislation.
Please reject the legislation to repeal the existing carbon
price and ETS.
The carbon price and ETS cannot function if the price per
tonne is zero dollars. We need a price which starts in the same range as our
international markets.
The impact of carbon price on electricity prices is
negligible compared to huge increases in transmission costs and increases in
coal power generation costs.
The price of renewables such as Wind and Solar continue to
become cheaper and thus developed and developing countries around the world are
moving rapidly to decarbonise and switch to renewables.
International analysis confirms that Australia does not have
an economic crisis, but we do have a crisis of leadership that respects
science.
The benefit of the carbon price and ETS is that it is
working to reduce carbon emissions. We also need a consistent carbon policy to
enable stability and growth for jobs and businesses in this sector and across
all industries.
Again, thank you for your time. And please be clear, if you
make the right decision to keep our working legislation, I personally will
mobilise everyone I know to support you. But if you do not, I will equally mobilize
to terminate your tenure.
And neither of us want that to happen.
Regards
Paul Boundy
