Environment Minister Melissa Price rather than Energy Minister Angus Taylor has been given responsibility for meeting Australia’s carbon emission reductions target under the Paris climate agreement. Price has expressed confidence that the target will be achieved, noting that the nation is on track to exceed its emissions reduction target for 2020. Policies aimed at reducing electricity prices will be a priority for Taylor, who has indicated that the federal government will adopt many of the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission’s recommendations in its review of retail electricity prices.
