Carbon price legislation passes
In an historic vote today, Australia's Senate passed the 18 bills necessary to introduce a carbon price into Australia from next year.
This is a monumental step in the fight against climate change - introducing a price on carbon means that products and services that do more damage to the climate will cost more, and those that are better for the environment will cost less.

Greenfleet welcomes today's news and looks forward to a more sustainable future with the introduction of this legislation.
