Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of a motion that the question be put, which was introduced by the Leader of the House Anthony Albanese.
The question referred to was to read the bills for a second time.(See that division here. )
Background to the bills
The Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme Bill 2010 and ten related bills were introduced to create the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme. This is the third attempt to introduce this scheme.(Read about the previous attempts here. )
The scheme is an emission trading scheme designed to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in an effort to address climate change. It gives effect to Australia's obligations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the 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.)

- Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2010
