At the centre of the mechanisms will be the advice from an independent climate change authority. Targets recommended by the authority will have to be considered by the parliament of the day. One would expect that if the authority develops standing within the polity, if it establishes a strong reputation for independence and professional strength, then its recommendations will be highly influential.
The aim is that it will attain the sort of status that the Reserve Bank of Australia holds. Its recommendations, like those of the Reserve Bank, can be overturned by the government of the day, but the standing of the authority should ensure that it won't be easy to overturn them without good reason.
