Participation and Regulatory Risk Both Addressed By HECS-Style Scheme

This article in Beef Central is worth understanding because it outlines how the Libs introduced the Carbon market but are now flipping, Labour doesn't want to defend or improve a policy that it didn't come up with - and One Nation and Nationals wants to scrap it all.

This carbon market is meant to be the incentive to restore nature, but the carbon market has too much upfront costs, too much delayed repayment (trees take time to grow and soil takes time to build) and if you were contemplating a 25-year contract based on the carbon markets still being around, would you?

That's why a govt backed HECS-style loan in order to get participation in carbon markets is required. 

The loan does 2 things: 
1. It removes the mis-match in timing between costs and revenues and allows farmers to participate and 
2. It secures those loans against future ACCU's which requires there to be a market for ACCU's in the future.

If I was a supporter of farmers restoring nature, I would be supporting this petition. https://lnkd.in/gZPmDbb3

You must feel the same?  So our choice is simple.  We share the message, grow the movement and apply pressure to get this loan arrangement made through RIC or CEFC or some existing infrastructure.

Please encourage others to sign.  Restoring nature is important.
