While Labor supports this motion, we note that the National Energy Guarantee is a policy that applies to the National Electricity Market and does not directly cover the agricultural or other non-electricity sectors of the economy. Labor has a longstanding position of exempting Australian farmers from any emissions reduction mechanism applicable to non-electricity sectors of the economy while supporting the land sector to cut emissions and generate new income by taking advantage of opportunities to participate in growing carbon markets.
