- <p>Since the majority of members voted No, the motion did not succeed and that the bills could continue to be discussed.</p>
- <p><b>Background to the motion</b></p>

It requires liable entities (a group that includes companies that emit a high level of greenhouse gases) to pay a price for their carbon emissions.</p>- <p>By “carbon tax”, the motion refers to Australia’s carbon pricing mechanism which started on 1 July 2012.

- <p>The bills being discussed when the motion was put were a package of seven bills designed to link Australia’s carbon pricing mechanism to overseas emissions trading schemes from 1 July 2015, which is when the Australian carbon pricing mechanism is scheduled to transition to an emissions trading scheme.</p>
