    Australias carbon

    pollution

    Australia generates more

    pollution per person than any

    developed country, including

    the United States. We produce

    signicantly more pollution

    per person than India and China.

    Australias carbon pollution

    is high because our electricityis mainly generated by burning

    coal. Transport, mining, industry,

    arming and deorestation

    also contribute.

    Our carbon pollution is continuing

    to grow at a rapid rate. Without

    action, it is expected to continue

    to grow by almost 2 per cent ayear to 2020.

    Reducing our carbon pollution

    means we have to produce

    and use energy in a cleaner,

    smarter way.

    Our climate is changing

    The CSIRO, the Bureau o Meteorology, and Academies o Science rom around the

    world have all advised that the world is warming and high levels o carbon pollution

    risk environmental and economic damage.

    In Australia and across the globe, 2001 to 2010 was the warmest decade on record.Each decade in Australia since the 1940s has been warmer than the last.

    Climate change risks damaging our environment and way

    o lie

    Australia aces signicant environmental and economic costs in a warmer, more

    unstable climate. Climate scientists advise that extreme weather events, such as

    droughts, heatwaves and bushres, are likely to become more requent and severe.

    This threatens our homes, businesses and communities, and vital industries such

    as agriculture.

    Scientists agree that the worst e ects o climate change can largely be avoided i we

    reduce carbon pollution to an acceptable level.

    The world is moving to a clean energy uture

    Countries around the world are already taking action on climate change. 89 countries

    representing 80 per cent o global emissions and 90 per cent o the worlds

    economy have already pledged to take action on climate change.

    Globally, more money is now invested in new renewable power than in conventional

    highpollution energy generation. China is now the worlds largest manuacturer o

    both solar panels and wind turbines.

    Acting now is cheaper than acting later

    Australia has an opportunity to move to a clean energy uture and cut pollution beore

    the task becomes more dicult and costly.

    Australia needs to cut

    pollution

    A carbon price

    Currently, releasing carbonpollution is ree despite the

    act that it is harming our

    environment.

    A carbon price changes this.

    It puts a price on the carbon

    pollution that Australias largest

    polluters produce. This creates

    a powerul incentive or all

    businesses to cut their pollution,

    by investing in clean technology

    or nding more ecient ways

    o operating.

    It encourages businesses across

    all industries to nd the cheapest

    and most eective way o

    reducing carbon pollution.

    The Australian Government is building a clean

    energy uture

    The Government has a comprehensive plan to move to a clean energy uture.

    This includes:

    introducing a carbon price promoting innovation and investment in renewable energy

    encouraging energy eciency

    creating opportunities in the land sector to cut pollution.

    The Governments plan to move to a clean energy uture will:

    dramatically cut pollution

    our clean energy plan will cut pollution by at least 5 per cent compared with

    2000 levels by 2020, which will require cutting net expected pollution by at

    least 23 per cent in 2020

    this is equivalent to taking over 45 million cars o the road by 2020

    by 2050 we are committing to cut pollution to 80 per cent below 2000 levels

    unleash innovation and investment worth billions o dollars in renewable energy

    large scale renewable electr icity generation, excluding hydro, is projected to be

    18 times its current size by 2050. Total renewable generation (including hydro)

    will comprise around 40 per cent o electr icity generation in 2050

    transorm our energy sec tor away rom high polluting sources, like brown coal

    the Government will negotiate to close down around 2000 megawatts o

    highpolluting coalred power generation, creating space or new cleanenergy supplies

    store millions o tonnes o carbon in the land through better land and

    waste management

    between now and 2050, around 460 million tonnes o carbon pollution will

    be reduced or stored instead o entering our atmosphere under the Carbon

    Farming Initiative.

    ... and move to a clean

    energy future

    Price impacts

    o introducing a

    carbon price

    The impact o the carbon price

    will be modest compared to other

    price increases.

    The carbon price will increase

    prices by 0.7 per cent over

    201213, as measured by the

    consumer price index (CPI).

    This is much smaller than the:

    2.5 per cent increase rom the

    GST and related tax changes

    2.9 per cent average annual

    infation between 200102 and

    200910.

    What does it mean for me

    and my family?

    The impact on prices will be modest

    The carbon pricing mechanism will apply to around 500 o Australias largest polluters.

    They will need a permit or every tonne o carbon pollution they produce. The cost o

    that permit is the carbon price.

    Some businesses will pass on the carbon price, leading to modest rises in prices. In201213, this is expected to increase the cost o living by 0.7 per cent. The GST and

    related changes to the tax system pushed up prices more than three times as much as

    the carbon price is expected to.

    Many prices, particularly ood, will hardly be aected. On average ood will go up by

    less than $1 per week or households.

    The carbon price will not directly apply to the price o uel that households pay at the

    petrol bowser.

    Average weekly household expenditure will go up around $9.90, including

    $3.30 per week on the average electricity bill and $1.50 per week on the average gasbill. On average, households will receive $10.10 per week in assistance.

    Appropriate action will be taken against businesses that use the carbon price as an

    excuse to put up prices beyond the cost o carbon.

    Over 4 million

    households get

    assistance worth120 per cent o their

    expected average

    price impact

    A typical couple with no children,

    with one person earning just

    under $60,000 and their partner

    earning around $25,000 will get

    assistance that is $288 per year

    more than their expected average

    price impact.

    A selunded retiree couple with

    a single taxable private income

    o $50,000 will get assistance

    that provides $524 per year more

    than their expected average price

    impact.

    A low income single person

    earning $30,000 will receive

    $94 per year more than their

    expected average price impact.

    A couple, both earning $35,000,

    with two children, will get

    $247 per year more than theirexpected average price impact.

    The Government will ensure that those Australians that need help the most,

    particularly pensioners and lowand middleincome households, will get assistance or

    the cost o living impact o the carbon price.

    On average, households will see cost increases o $9.90 per week, while the average

    assistance will be $10.10 per week.

    By 201213 Australia is expected to have almost 9 million households.

    Over 4 million households will be better o compared to

    their average price impact

    This means they will receive assistance that provides a bu er o at least 20 per cent

    over and above their average price impact.

    Almost 6 million households will be assisted to meet their

    average price impact

    This means they will receive assistance that covers at least the average price impact o

    the carbon price on their cost o living.

    Around 8 million households will get some assistance

    This means they will receive some assistance through payment increases and/or

    tax cuts.

    Households that improve their energy eciency can help the environment and save

    money. Because households that do use less energy will still get to keep all o their tax

    cuts and payment increases, the carbon price will still provide them with a nancial

    incentive to do their bit or the environment.

    will be better off

    Kate and Luciano have just bought

    a house and are both working

    hard to pay o the mortgage.

    Kate has a job in an aged care

    home and Luciano is a mechanic

    earn around $50,000 each.

    They have two teenage boys at

    They will get assistance o about

    $679, made up o about $73 extra

    in payments and $606 in tax cuts.

    They are $26 better o ater the

    changes.

    How much will I get?

    More than hal o the revenue raised rom polluters will go

    to households to help meet price impacts and help them do

    their bit or climate change

    There are two ways that households will receive assistance:

    increases in pensions, allowances and amily payments that they may receive and

    income tax cuts on top o these increases.

    The assistance will mean:

    pensioners and selunded retirees will get up to $338 extra per year i they are

    single and up to $510 per year or couples, combined

    amilies receiving Family Tax Benet Part A will get up to an extra $110 per child

    eligible amilies will get up to an extra $69 in Family Tax Benet Par t B

    allowance recipients will get up to $218 extra per year or singles, $234 per year

    or single parents and $390 per year or couples combined on top o this, taxpayers with annual income o under $80,000 will all get a tax

    cut, with most receiving at least $300 per year.

    On average, households will see cost increases of $9.90 per week, but receive

    assistance of $10.10 per week.

    Moving to an

    emissions trading

    scheme

    For the rst three years, the

    carbon price will be xed like

    a tax.

    From 1 July 2015, Australia will

    move to an emissions trading

    scheme which caps carbon

    pollution.

    The carbon price will be set by

    the market and the Government

    will ensure that assistance

    remains adequate.

    The Governments household assistance is permanent.

    Extra payments will be permanent and will increase

    Payment assistance will start rom MayJune 2012, to help households to get ready or

    the carbon price.

    Payment assistance will automatically rise in line with price changes in the economy to

    keep pace with the cost o living. This includes any price impacts rom when Australia

    moves to an emissions trading scheme, and beyond.

    Tax cuts will be permanent and will increase

    The Government will deliver a rst round o tax cuts when the carbon price starts in

    201213. In 201516, there will be a second round o tax cuts.

    Combined, the two rounds o new tax cuts will typically deliver a tax cut o at least

    $385 to most taxpayers with incomes up to $80,000.

    The Government will ensure the ongoing adequacy of household assistance.

    that Damien will have an extra

    $300 a year to cover his expected

    average cost o living impact o

    $250 per year.

    The higher taxree threshold

    means Damiens employer wont

    The revenue rom the carbon price will pay or new tax cuts or millions o Australians.

    These tax cuts will be permanent.

    This builds on the three rounds o substantial tax cuts already delivered by the

    Government.

    A frst round o tax cuts in 2012

    From 1 July 2012, all taxpayers with income up to $80,000 will get a tax cut, with

    most receiving at least $300 per year.

    This means around 60 per cent o taxpayers will get a tax cut o at least $300.

    No one will pay more income tax.

    Tax cuts grow, with a second round in 2015

    Further tax cuts will be delivered in 2015 or all taxpayers with incomes up to $80,000,

    with most receiving a tax cut o up to $385 in total.

    These tax cuts will provide assistance to cover the projected impact o the carbon price

    out to the end o the decade.

    Tax cuts and

    simplifcation

    Eugenie is married to Steve

    and has just returned to the

    workorce ater many years at

    home with the kids.

    Eugenie has ound a parttime

    job paying $340 a week, or

    $17,680 per year.

    In 2012 she will get a tax cut o

    $177 per year.

    This means better returns

    rom working.

    Just as importantly, a higher

    taxree threshold means she gets

    to keep all o her wages rom

    week to week and may not haveto lodge a tax return.

    In 2012, people will pay less income tax because the Government will more than triple

    the taxree threshold, rom $6,000 to $18,200.

    This means that regular wage earners with incomes below the new taxree threshold

    will get to keep all o their wages in their regular pay packets, and need not go to the

    eort o lodging annual tax returns.

    Up to one million Australians will be reed rom having to lodge a tax return.

    In 2015, urther tax cuts will increase the taxree threshold to $19,400.

    This will ree up to a urther 100,000 Australians rom having to lodge a tax return.

    While some statutory tax rates will be higher, the combined changes mean this

    will better match the eec tive rate that a lot o taxpayers are actually paying at the

    moment. All taxpayers under $80,000 will pay less tax, and those on higher incomes

    will pay no more tax than they do now.

    Supporting jobs

    The Government has careullydesigned a number o

    measures to support jobs and

    competitiveness as we move to a

    clean energy uture.

    Jobs in industries like aluminium,

    steel, cement and coal will be

    supported.

    These measures are designed toensure that Australia continues

    to experience strong jobs growth

    while at the same time providing

    incentives to cut pollution in

    our economy.

    Moving to a clean energy

    uture will provide new

    economic opportunities orAustralian workers.

    The carbon price will impose no

    red tape on small businesses.

    All small businesses will be

    eligible or extra tax concessions.

    The most important thing or households is a secure and

    growing economy

    The cost o cutting pollution and transorming our economy to cleaner energy sources is

    very modest. Carbon pricing is expected to slow Australias average income growth by

    around 0.1 o a percentage point per year.

    Under a carbon price:

    1.6 million jobs will be created by 2020

    average incomes will grow by about 16 per cent by 2020, an increase o about

    $9,000 in todays dollars

    by 2050 we will be able to produce the things we make today, with hal the pollution.

    Treasury modelling shows that we can have strong economic growth and jobs growth

    while making substantial cuts to Australias pollution levels.

    The carbon price will support Australias competitiveness in the decades to come, as webecome a clean energy economy.

    A carbon price is designed to

    change production processes

    o large polluters, so theypollute less.

    The carbon price also means that

    there is a nancial incentive or

    households to consider changes to

    improve their energy eciency.

    Household assistance does not

    blunt these incentives.

    People who make these changes

    can still keep all o their household

    assistance, and end up ahead.

    There are many small changes that Australian households can make to help the

    environment, and save money at the same time.

    And households that make these savings will still get to keep all o their extra

    payments and tax cuts.

    For example, it is estimated that or a amily o our, in just one year: washing clothes in cold rather than hot water can save around $90

    a solar hot water system (replacing an electric system) could save over $400

    getting rid o the second ridge could save around $180

    using a clothesline instead o an electric dryer once a week could save around $55

    switching o appliances at the power point could save up to $100.
