“Climate change is the ultimate long-term problem. We have to make decisions today, bear costs today so that adverse consequences are avoided, dangerous consequences, many decades into the future.” Malcolm Turnbull, Febrary 9th, 2010

“Plainly stated: in the absence of a clear carbon price signal either no investments will be made or investments will be made of new carbon-intensive infrastructure because they are more profitable in a world where there is no price on carbon.” Malcolm Turnbull

Plainly stated, Mr Turnbull … nothing much has happened.

“But it is not enough to say you support these cuts, you must also deliver a strong, credible policy framework that will deliver them.” Malcolm Turnbull

Plainly stated, Mr Turnbull … price signals do work.
