How Australia can expand carbon pricing

October 12, 2025 · 26 min

Show notes

Australia will fail to hit its climate change target of net zero by 2050 unless it imposes a constraint on emissions from the electricity sector. In this podcast, our energy and climate change policy experts Alison Reeve and Tony Wood talk about the thing Australia’s political leaders still refuse to talk about: carbon pricing. Alison and Tony also discuss the modelling for their new Grattan report, which which shows that governments can act to cut electricity emissions without hurting Australians in the hip pocket.
