Submission: One barrier might come down, but superannuation performance test reforms won’t unlock climate investment on their own

Submission | Katharina Surikow (IGCC) | 19 June 2026

Changing the superannuation performance test is not the single ‘silver bullet’ solution – in and of itself, reform of the performance test may remove a barrier to investment in some asset classes for some investors, but it will not act as an incentive for more investment. IGCC urges the government to consider any proposed changes to the performance test in the context of all other policy changes available to it that could, or seek to, influence investment in net zero.

Submission on methane accounting standards under NGERS legislation

Submission | Anna Hancock, Bethany Richards, Dani Siew, Francesca Muskovic | 8 May 2026

Methane emissions are generally under-reported and IGCC strongly supports more accurate accounting and reporting of methane emissions as essential to give greater clarity to investors. This will assist in making alternative, low to zero emissions investments more attractive, enabling more finance to be deployed towards prospective green industries. IGCC supports many of the changes contemplated in this consultation draft and provides some further suggestions to strengthen NGER scheme operation that will in turn support climate-aligned innovation and investment.

Submission: More work needed on the foreign resident capital gains tax regime for renewables

Submission | Katharina Surikow (IGCC) | 24 April 2026

IGCC respects the Government’s intentions to strengthen and provide clarity to the foreign resident CGT regime. However, the draft legislation contains a number of elements that will chill much-needed investment in renewable energy and create undue sovereign risk. More analysis of the economic impact of the proposed changes is required to establish a level playing field for all investors and appropriate transition arrangements that avoid jeopardising Australia’s energy transition.
