Greg Combet, Minister Assisting the Minister for Climate Change, opened the Australasian Carbon Market Expo 2009 on the Gold Coast, using the opportunity to highlight the need for the passing of the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS).

Mr Combet said that a clear direction on climate change policy was an economic, as well as an environmental imperative, and reminded delegates that both major political parties in Australia had gone to the last election committed to an emissions trading scheme.
