With another federal election a little over four weeks away the Morrison Government - a party without a genuine climate change policy - has obviously included a version of the 'hundred dollar lamb roast' in its talking points for the troops as allegation surface here and there that climate change policies held by The Greens or Labor will increase food prices.
Especially any part of these policies which might in the future seek to have industry limit its greenhouse gas emissions by placing a price on carbon.
Here is a rebuttal of those allegations.....
The Gillard Labor Government’s Clean Energy Act 2011 was assented to on 18 November 2011, came into effect on 1 July 2012 and was repealed by the Abbott Coalition Government on 17 July 2014, coming into post-dated effect on 1 July 2014 .Just a little note ... for all the complaints about food price soaring on the back of carbon pricing, this is food inflation in Sydney since 2011. Pick when the carbon tax was in place... pic.twitter.com/OoeYC7Fp33— Shane Wright (@swrighteconomy) April 1, 2019
