The Australian Parliament created landmark new laws on Thursday that will make the nation's biggest greenhouse gas polluters reduce their emissions or pay for carbon credits. The centre-left Labour Party administration said the so-called Safeguard Mechanism reforms are essential to Australia reaching its target of reducing its emissions by 43 per cent below 2005 levels by the end of the decade.
