General Resolution
GHG Emissions levy
ACT Labor Conference calls on the ACT Government to consider imposing a levy on all construction projects valued at or over $1 million based on scope 1 and scope 2 carbon emissions at a rate not less than the current price of an Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU). Noting the ACT Government is currently incurring a deficit and that any tax burden is best shared over a wide tax base, and that we need to reduce demand for products with significant carbon emissions.
