Energy and Emissions Reduction Minister Angus Taylor has rejected claims Australia's $1 billion carbon credit scheme is a sham and a waste of taxpayers' money.
The Clean Energy Regulator is reviewing claims by the former head of the government's Emissions Reduction Assurance Committee, Professor Andrew Macintosh and his colleagues from the Australian National University that the fund is an "environmental and taxpayer fraud".
Speaking at a carbon farming forum on Friday, Mr Taylor said the criticisms were part of a political attack on the industry.
