Teals Federal MP Allegra Spender has thrown her support behind “carbon pricing” for Australia after leading economists proposed a fossil fuel tax.

Ross Garnaut and Rod Sims, who founded the Superpower Institute, propose a carbon tax known as the “carbon solutions levy” before 2031 that would raise more than $100 billion a year for clean energy.
