Canberra resists calls for early carbon float - The Australian

THE Gillard government is resisting pressure to move to an early float of the carbon price that is being championed by business and key independents.

Plans to move to a floating carbon price by linking with the EU scheme have been put to the government in the past few weeks and there has been speculation in business circles that the move is being considered. However, a spokesman for Climate Change Minister Greg Combet yesterday moved to quash that speculation.
