About this inquiry

The bill amends the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Amendment Act 2011 in relation to the operation of the crediting element of the Emissions Reduction Fund. These amendments address implementation issues, primarily for savanna fire management projects in Northern Australia. They correct earlier drafting errors, reduce administrative burden and clarify the original intent of the Act.
