_Background to the bill_
The [Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme Bill 2009 (No. 2)](http://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/Bills_Search_Results/Result?bId=r4221) was introduced as part of a package of six bills along with five other related bills to introduce the [Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_Pollution_Reduction_Scheme). It is identical to the [Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme Bill 2009](http://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id%3A%22legislation%2Fbillhome%2Fr4127%22) as amended in the House of Representatives before it was negated in the Senate.(See that division [here](http://publicwhip-rails.openaustraliafoundation.org.au/division.php?date=2009-08-13&number=4&dmp=7&house=senate). )
The scheme is an [emission trading scheme](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emissions_trading) designed to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other [greenhouse gases](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas) in an effort to address [climate change](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_chnage). It gives effect to Australia's obligations under the [United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Framework_Convention_on_Climate_Change) and the [Kyoto Protocol](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyoto_Protocol).
The design of the scheme has been criticised by the business community for threatening jobs and by environmentalists for not going far enough with its emission reduction targets.(Read more about these criticisms [here](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_Pollution_Reduction_Scheme#Criticism).)

Description

That this bill be now read a second time.That all words after “That” be omitted with a view to substituting the following words: “the House:<dl><dt>(1)</dt><dd>believes that the Government’s proposed emissions trading scheme is flawed and in its current form will cost Australian jobs and investment, and simply export rather than reduce global greenhouse gas emissions;</dd><dt>(2)</dt><dd>supports the Coalition in again calling on the Government to defer consideration of this legislation, which will impose the single largest structural change to the Australian economy, until after the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit has concluded in less than 50 days time;</dd><dt>(3)</dt><dd>notes that as the Government remains determined to keep an utterly artificial and self-imposed deadline of this Parliamentary year and as such before the world meets to address the important issue of global action, the Coalition has proposed changes to the Government’s ETS to ensure the following critical matters are addressed:<dl><dt>(a)</dt><dd>that emissions-intensive trade-exposed industries remain on a level playing field with competitors in other advanced economies;</dd><dt>(b)</dt><dd>that agriculture is excluded from the scheme, rather than included after 2015, and farmers have access to agricultural offset credits;</dd><dt>(c)</dt><dd>that the impact of higher electricity prices on small businesses be moderated;</dd><dt>(d)</dt><dd>that the coal industry is required to reduce fugitive emissions as technically feasible, but not be unfairly financially penalised;</dd><dt>(e)</dt><dd>that transitional assistance to coal-fired electricity generators is sufficient to ensure that electricity supply security is maintained and the generators remain viable; and</dd><dt>(f)</dt><dd>that complementary measures such as voluntary action and energy efficiency are encouraged”.</dd></dl></dd></dl>
~~That the question be now put.~~
The majority voted against a [http://www.openaustralia.org/debate/?id=2009-10-29.48.1 motion] that the question be put, which was introduced by Liberal MP [http://publicwhip-test.openaustraliafoundation.org.au/mp.php?mpn=Christopher_Pyne&mpc=Sturt&house=representatives Christopher Pyne].
The question referred to was a [http://www.openaustralia.org/debate/?id=2009-10-29.33.3 motion] put by Liberal MP [http://publicwhip-test.openaustraliafoundation.org.au/mp.php?mpn=Malcolm_Turnbull&mpc=Wentworth&house=representatives Malcolm Turnbull].
A motion to put a question is procedural motion known as a "closure" or "gag" as it ends debate on a particular question by requiring it to be asked.[1] Since the majority voted 'no' in this division, the debate on Turnbull's motion can continue.
''Background to the bill''
The [http://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/Bills_Search_Results/Result?bId=r4221 Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme Bill 2009 (No. 2)] was introduced as part of a package of six bills to introduce the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_Pollution_Reduction_Scheme Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme]. It is identical to the [http://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id%3A%22legislation%2Fbillhome%2Fr4127%22 Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme Bill 2009] as amended in the House of Representatives before it was negated in the Senate.[2]
The scheme is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emissions_trading emission trading scheme] designed to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas greenhouse gases] in an effort to address [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_chnage climate change]. It gives effect to Australia's obligations under the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Framework_Convention_on_Climate_Change United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyoto_Protocol Kyoto Protocol].
The design of the scheme has been criticised by the business community for threatening jobs and by environmentalists for not going far enough with its emission reduction targets.[3]
