Emissions scheme will kill NT economy

Emissions scheme will kill NT economy
Sept. 2008
Northern Territory, Australia

Quote:

CARBON emission cuts of the kind promoted by UN climate change committee members would destroy the Territory economy, the head of Australia's trucking association said yesterday.
Australian Trucking Association chief executive Stuart St Clair said that because of the long distances, the Territory's economy was dependant on road freight.
"Everything gets carried by truck at some stage,'' he said.
Territorians already pay a hefty fuel surcharge imposed by airlines, freight companies and taxis as the price of petrol in Darwin remains above $1.50 a litre and diesel above $1.75.
