KEY POINTS:
Prime Minister Helen Clark has announced the Government would delay bringing transport fuels into the emissions trading scheme from 2009 and 2011.
The delay - made in response to calls for help from spiralling petrol, food and mortgage costs - will ensure car owners are not hit by the extra five to eight cents per litre for petrol from January next year.
The Government has also softened the rules for heavy-emitting industries by delaying the start date for the phase-out of "free" allocations of emissions from 2013 to 2018.
