The federal Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency (DCCEE) has recently moved towards abandoning principles of open and transparent Goverrnment by not publishing submissions on important policy documents.

Where this is the case, AHCAG can provide the opportunity for such submissions to be published. On Australia's biggest economic reform being the Clean Energy Legislative Package released on 28 July 2011, the Federal Government has allowed just four weeks for submissions and has not indicated whether the non-confidential submissions will be made public on its website.

AHCAG's own Tim Kelly, who last year published a Customer Choice Model for carbon pollution and renewable energy, has lodged submissions with two public consultation processes being conducted by DCCEE. The Department has decided that it will not publish these submissions, so AHCAG has decided to publish them here.
