Environmental regulation stringency — emissions caps, standards, phase-out mandates, carbon pricing, renewable portfolio standards.
Targeted industrial and sectoral subsidies (renewable energy, chip manufacturing, agriculture, green hydrogen, etc).
Policy posture toward energy supply security — domestic production capacity, import diversification, strategic reserves, nuclear stance, fossil-fuel mix discipline.
Product-market regulation, entry barriers, licensing burdens, network-industry regulation, price controls.
The Clean Energy Act 2011 (in force 1 July 2012) imposed a fixed carbon price of AUD 23/tCO2e on ~500 largest emitters, rising 2.5% real annually, with transition to an emissions-trading scheme scheduled for 2015 and a link to the EU ETS planned. Enactment depended on a Labor–Greens–Independents minority agreement after the 2010 election, despite Gillard's 2010 campaign pledge against a carbon tax. The Abbott Coalition campaigned on repeal, won the 2013 election, and passed the Clean Energy Legislation (Carbon Tax Repeal) Act 2014 on 17 July 2014, replacing carbon pricing with the Emissions Reduction Fund (reverse-auction subsidy). The Safeguard Mechanism (2016, reformed by Albanese 2023) later re-introduced a baseline- and-credit scheme for large facilities. The framework codes the full enactment-and-repeal episode as one movement: the environmental- stringency axis moved + then − within three years, a rare revealed- preference reversal of a price-based climate instrument in a developed economy.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
