To assist comparison of the previous Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme and the proposed Carbon Pricing Mechanism, the Parliamentary Library has prepared a table of selected features from each scheme. The table shows side-by-side the architecture of each scheme in relation to coverage, caps, permit prices, international linkages, impact on the Budget, household and industry assistance and compensation, and more. Other briefs on the Carbon Pricing Mechanism are available from the Parliamentary Library's climate change website.
