How far did Government policy (and intended legislation/bill) go towards the uptake of recommendations from the 2008 Garnaut Review?

The main area of difference is in relation to compensation and free permits. The Garnaut Review argued for no free permits for generators, and for limited compensation, but based on cash not free permits, for the trade-exposed emissions-intensive sector. Successive policies from the Government have included more compensation for both categories of emitters, entirely through the allocation of free permits.
