Abstract

The governments of New Zealand and Australia are proposing to implement greenhouse gas emissions trading schemes (ETS) to help drive down carbon pollution within their borders. Although both countries enjoy a political consensus in favour of emissions trading, the Parliament of each country is deeply divided along party political lines about the appropriate design of the irrespective schemes.
