Prime Minister Scott Morrison says the Coalition can achieve its carbon emissions reduction target without hurting the economy. Morrison contends that this is because the cost of doing so will be borne by taxpayers. His claims are at odds with modelling undertaken by economist Brian Fisher, who says the Coalition’s climate policy will impose some cost on the economy, although not as much as Labor’s policy. Labor’s climate spokesman Mark Butler claims that Fisher’s assumptions are grossly flawed.
