Mr Tony Abbott intends to replace the tax with a Direct Action plan, where
industries will be paid to reduce emissions.However, the bill is not expected to pass
the Senate, where Mr Abbott’s coalition lacks a majority.

Australia is the developed world’s worst polluter per head of population and the

“This is our bill to reduce your bills, to reduce the bills of the people of Australia,”

The bill is expected to be approved by Australia’s lower house, where Mr Abbott’s

The repeal bill cannot be passed without Senate approval.
