The passage of the Clean Energy Future legislative package will allow Australia to begin reducing emissions, developing and fostering new technologies in renewable energy, encouraging energy efficiency and creating opportunities in the land sector to cut pollution.
It will drive investment in clean energy and it will ensure that Australia plays its part internationally as a global citizen.
