Business leaders want incentives over taxes

The Australian

Some business leaders are calling for the government to dump its carbon tax plan, with Seven Group Holdings chief executive saying that incentivising emissions cuts will work better than a tax.  The Queensland Labor government, meanwhile, has made a submission to the federal government’s multi-party climate change committee in which it calls for support to emissions-intensive, trade-exposed industries and coalminers that’s at least as generous as the approach agreed to under Kevin Rudd’s proposed ETS, which was blocked by the Greens for its leniency.
