Gillard said that by 2020, this would cut emissions by some 160 million tonnes per year. We have had a long debate about climate change in this country. Transport fuels will be excluded from the carbon pricing mechanism. a year in real terms. From 1 July 2015, the carbon price will be set by the market.
