CARBON POLLUTION REDUCTION SCHEME
Green Paper
July 2008
MAKING A SUBMISSION
Stakeholders are encouraged to engage fully in the consultation process and consider carefully the options canvassed in the Green Paper. The Government invites interested parties to make a written submission.
Stakeholders may comment on any matter they consider relevant to the design of the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme. In particular, they may wish to comment on the design options canvassed in the Green Paper, with a focus on the Government's preferred positions.
Stakeholders can be assured that submissions made to previous processes of the Task Group on Emissions Trading, the National Emissions Trading Taskforce and the Garnaut Climate Change Review will be taken into account. However, stakeholders can re submit part or all of the submissions made to those bodies if they so wish.
Each submission, unless it is made in confidence, will be published on the Department of Climate Change's website, at which time it will become a publicly available document. This will occur soon after the submission is received, unless it is accompanied by a request to delay release for a short period. Submissions will remain on the department's website indefinitely. Copyright resides with the author(s), not with the Government.

Submissions are due on or by 10 September 2008.
