Australia has met its responsibilities under the G20 commitment to rationalise or eliminate inefficient fossil fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption. We took a considered and thorough approach to developing our response and concluded we had no measures within the scope of the G20 commitment. Six other G20 countries also do not think that they have any fossil fuel subsidies that fall within the scope. No further work is expected in relation to the commitment by Australia.
