Rootes, Christopher (2014) A Referendum on the Carbon Tax? The 2013 Australian election, the Greens and the environment. Environmental Politics, 23 (1). pp. 166-173. ISSN 0964-4016. E-ISSN 1743-8934. (doi:10.1080/09644016.2014.878088) (KAR id:62923)

Abstract

The background to, campaign preceding, and results of the Australian general election of 2013 are discussed, as are the likely consequences of the election of a Liberal-National coalition government. The focus is upon the contest over the Labor government's Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, and the opposition's characterisation of it as a 'carbon tax'. Other environmental policies and the fate of the Australian Greens are also discussed.
